Care for injured Southern Toad

[victorsgrace]

Hi dude. Just read this post sunday, but something was wrong with FF - I could not reply. 'Kept saying my message was too short to be posted, no matter how long it was.

Per my eperience, what you would have been advised was to put him in a tank with unprinted paper towels, which were to be changed everyday and treat him with a referred anti-bacterial treatment, both to avoid infection. However, when there's no picture, it's hard to judge how badly he's injured - if it's just a superficial wound or if his foot is completely bashed up.

Seeing that he died in just two days (not knowing how long he's been going around like this) and the fact that he was unable to move around much, it could indicate internal injuries, which he may have died of, in which case there's not much you could have done :./

I'm sorry no one replied you. Maybe they had the same posting-issue as me.

You did a good thing trying to save him. At least he died warm and safe from predators - anything counts.
