Should I euthanize my frog? :(

[Gemma]

Sorry to hear that he's not getting any better :(

I agree with everything that Michael said. If you can't get him to a vet or speak to a vet about him then this link might be useful:

It's an old post I just found about the most humane ways to euthanise a frog. If it doesn't link you to it directly then look for post number 36.

Thanks for the info, guys. But I do feel terrible...is there any other alternative? I don't actually know what he has, and I was reluctant to try anything without knowing because of possible negative side-effects. A vet visit would cost around $60-$65 and I don't start my job until next week--being a university student as well, I am very short on funds. Do you think euthanasia really is the best way?

Hi and so sorry for what you and your frog are going through, I don't know your situation, can't help or advise much nor I know a thing about ACFs.
but only you can make this call, if you decide it is time for him to go, get clove oil and add it gradually to the water a frog is in until it is over, poor some in, mix, wait a little, then add some more and so on, it will help him go peacefully without suffering. It is the best to do it in something that you are not going to use again, clove oil is not something you can clean easily.

That is so sad....

This is so, so, so sad. I hate to hear about any critter in pain.
