    If you have the time I'd like to hear more about your experiences with frog eye injuries and how you think it should look four weeks after exploding. Do you believe he isn't healing properly?

    I was pleased with the improvement because it's no longer a bloody hole in his head, and he can blink his eyelid. I expected it to stay blue forever, like when human or dog eyes are blinded. I expected infection to be a part of the healing process. I like the holistic approach his doctor is taking, and have considered her recommendation of Manuka honey baths as opposed to Melafix. I have also considered going against her recommendation and applying watered down Melafix drops to his eye. A lot of people have suggested plain Polysporin. What do you think of these other treatments?

    For now, I'm giving him lots of peace and quiet, because I know that won't do him any harm in the meantime~! <3


    I for one am not opposed to the honey baths because Honey does have antibacterial properties just not as strong as melafix does.
    As far as Polysporin goes that's fine as long as it is plain Polysporin without pain reliever.

    Now if you do get smaller earthworms be sure that you do not get the red wiggler type. as they excrete a mucous when they are threatened and that mucus is very bad tasting to the frog.
    And also make sure that they do not have any dyes or scents added.

    I have also found a product that's easy to force-feed that is high-protein and has vitamins and minerals added it's called tetra freshdelica brine shrimp.
    it is in a small pouch like a ketchup packet and you can inset the open end of the packet into the frogs mouth without prying it open.
    and squeeze the paste in.
