Help please!!!

You can use a q - tip to apply NON medicated neosporin to the scratch. If you use the kind with pain reliever it will kill the frog. The neosporin will help reduce chances of infection and help the wound heal.

Hello Greenclover,
Welcome to Frog Forum!
Sorry to have to welcome this way, It's so good of you to take care of this frog
Your Kitty is not morbid- he is just being a kitty.

Can you post some photos?

We need to evaluated the injuries:
1) with photos ----we will be able to advise you as to how to proceed from here/ regarding the proper treatment of the injuries
( for now- if there is any obvious broken skin use the Neosporin ( WITHOUT PAIN RELIEVER) once daily- apply with a Q-tip
2) we need to identify the frog
3) after identification , we will be able to give you specific details on caring for it ____ ie FOOD !

* pick up some water de-chlorinator from a pet store to de-chlorinate all water used for the frog- including to dampen the paper towels on the bottom of the 'hospital' enclosure.

Provide a shallow water dish ( boil the dish- use ie glass or ceramic) No soap ! Keep the water below the frog's chin. The water needs to be in the enclosure at all time and cleaned daily.

How big is the frog ? estimate the length from the end of it's body to the tip of it's nose.

ok so i looked up native frogs in my area and the only one it could be is a squirrel tree frog (Hyla squirella), i cant take any pics at the moment as i dont have a camera and the one on my phone is broken. He is looking alot better today and i put some store bought flys in the enclosure and he devoured them xD i have been putting the non medicated neo on his back 2 times a day (first thing in the am and right before i go to bed as he sits in his water almost all day) i moved him to a 10 gallon tank with about 3 inches of substrate and lots of natural branches for the little one to crawl up and he seems to like them. Is there anything else i can do for him? Oh and he is about 1/2 an inch long nose to rear end.

Welcome to FF! If you can't borrow someones phone for pic, at least try to describe the frog. Do make sure the bath water is dechlorinated (no distilled or R/O) or can also use bottled spring water. Good luck !

I am only using declorinanted as i already had it on hand for my fish tanks. He is a bright green on top with a tan underbelly no really other markings but he does seem to have very faint light stripes on his sides.
