All,
Tenderfoot, as he's known, had this wound show up within the past couple days and has since started to show signs of bleeding above the wound. I've started to collect items from the http://www.frogforum.net/tree-frogs/...-prepared.html post, however I'm not certain that I'll have time to collect additional items from Dr. Frye.
In an effort to keep Tenderfoot happy, I've had started using the Zoo-Med Repti Wound-Healing Aid, until I read that Neosporin is highly recommended.
Tenderfoot is on a diet of Dubia Roaches with calcium w/ D3. Terrarium is 73 degrees with an average humidity of 34-40%.
I've had Tenderfoot for nearly 4 years and he's been wonderful as both an office pet and home pet. There are no herp-vets in my area, so any possible cures would have to come from me.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you sincerely,
-Matt
Hello Matt,
I would email Dr Frye. ( email a photo to him )
In the meantime, continue the neosporin. ( WITHOUT pain reliever)
? put him into a QT tank ----especially if he has a tank mate.
Scrub and change the soaking dish every day. hot hot water and friction !!!!! no soap
Most importantly....this looks like a tare/puncture ? Inspect the tank for share objects.
ie Any fake plants ? sharp ends or tips on decor or branches ?
His enclosure should be warmer" Day: 29 °C (85 °F); Night: 20 - 24 °C (68 - 75 °F) "
Frog Forum - White's Tree Frog Care - Litoria caerulea
Not sure if maintaining 85 daytime is necessary -- but 80F is ...... for proper digestion
Feed him well and warm him up a bit...he will heal more quickly
Keep us posted

Lynn,
Thank you for the advise. I'll everything immediately and keep everyone posted.
Regarding his enclosure: There are no other animals other than the naturally occurring bug-mite-things that come out from wet coco fiber.
