    No worries Corey (CJ?).

    I thought people would be interested in what Dr. Frye said (courtesy of Heatheranne)--

    Hi Eponine,

    I think your frogs injury is definitely infected. I will tell you what I would do... Get a bottle of sterile 0.9 normal saline in the first aide section of any store near the pharmacy area. Get a jug of distilled water from the bottled water area. Only use distilled water for this mix, not for regular soaks. Mix the 0.9 normal saline solution with the distilled water into a 50/50 solution. Very gently drizzle it daily over the wound daily, then apply original Neosporin (NO pain reliever...just the original...the pain reliever type is toxic to them) to the area with a new Qtip each day.

    Call a vet...the best treatment would be either and/or both Metronidizole and Baytril systemic drops and topical silversulfadiazene cream to the area daily. These are prescribed medications which are dosed by a vet per your frogs size. Dr. Frye will often prescribe them for your frog after an email. Keep in mind that tomorrow is Friday and they will be closed for the weekend. I'm not sure of your budget, but if you could have them shipped over-night shipping, it would be best. You will not need the neosporin if you have these treatments. You need to act quickly though.

    Hi eponine/theplassingglory,
    Please clarify..................w/ Hetheranne......please read her message to you ........again.

    I do not believe this is what " Dr Frye is saying" ? , but are Heatheranne's additional instructions and links to Dr. Frye's contact information.

    Have you spoken to /emailed Dr Frye?
    He would sell you the Metronidizole and silversulfadiazene cream and mail it; you simply pay for it via a credit card.
    Please be reminded .......Dr Frye will need to see photos of the frogs' infected leg.

    Default Help! American Green Tree Frog with sore and sollen leg!

    Hello,
    Yes, these are my recommendations. I am only presuming what he will prescribe based on treatments I've used in the past for my frogs, per his experience and advice. I'm sorry for the confusion.

    You will need to contact him. Please email him today. I truly think your frog needs antibiotics prescribed by a vet. If you have a vet near you that is educated about frogs and will treat them, I would recommend going to them today. It would be quicker than waiting for meds to be sent. Time is of the essence. I don't want you to loose your sweet frog. Dr. Frye would be the next option.

    The meds... It is only my opinion that he would prescribe Metronidizole and Baytril systemic drops and topical SSD cream, due to experiences in my past. The saline rinse and Neosporin are only temporary topical treatments to keep the surface of the wound clean. The swelling of the leg tells me he needs more than topical treatment...soon, very soon.

    I'm sorry to cause any confusion. Could you contact a vet today?

    Heather
