I've got calcium dust and I plan to try earthworms when the store has small ones in stock, I don't intend to chop up any worms they're way just too cute! ;3
His doctor was very against using Melafix on wild caught frogs because she said it could easily kill them, and suggested a weak iodine bath to detoxify it's body of the Melafix.
He's probably blind on that side, he tends to keep his good eye on me, it's cute. If he's in his bath and I turn it, he'll turn in circles to keep me in his sight.
I am rather concerned about one thing you said in particular; "Due to the time involved since accident this frog might need stronger antibiotics."
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
