Thread: Hurt frog

    Default Hurt frog

    My little guy has what seems like a cut or something on his back leg. It's pretty small but is there any concern here or will it just heal up?

    it should heal on its own if its small just keep an eye on it and watch for any signs of infection.

    If skin is cut, you can move frog to a hospital like enclosure with damp unprinted paper towels as substrate to prevent it from getting infected. A daily application of an antibiotic (either plain silver gel or plain Neosporin with no pain reducers) should help too.

    While in there, need to investigate what could have injured frog and if found, remove cause from it's enclosure (i.e. sharp plastic plant or decor). Once frog has healed, can move back into it's regular enclosure. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
