Found Frog Without Leg

[Brian Perkins]

I recently found a Grey Tree Frog that had a leg missing. It had been cut off or had been eaten off by a predator. Anyway, it is in my care now. Will it die due to the loss of a limb, or grow it back? Should I put it out of it's misery?

I would keep it and nourish it, keep it in a tank with paper towel and
water dish with branches and dechlorinated water. is it bleeding? dose it look infected?

[Brian Perkins]

Hello,
It is not bleeding, but some "meat" is hanging out. It does not look infected, no. Can I put some kind of antibacterial on it?

Hi Brian, yes you can put original neosporin (without pain reliever) on the wound daily with a Qtip. He can live with 3 legs if he does not die of systemic infection.

Much obliged!
