    To be honest im not sure. Hes not head tilting, and i placed in a deep tub of water to see if he would corkscrew spin, and he didnt. So thats good... But his eye is still cloudy, but he isnt acting cramped on the prior head tilted side either anymore. He doesnt move much, and looks like hes sleeping. when I move him to medicate the wounds, he seems to wake up, and really starts to move. He seems to move when im not around, like across the tank. He isnt eating on his on, I recently found one my best friends father use to keep reptiles and frogs, and so did my uncle, so I might ask them for help.

    Yes you can as Lija stated. SSD should be applied topically as per Heather's instructions. Melafix solution can be used on frog's water's dish per the label's mixing ratio with dechlorinated tap water.

Looking on petsmart's site, is there anything I should try with him if he doesnt seem to get better? I was looking at the triple sulfa and one other that started with an e, same ingredient as maracyn 2. (cant remember the name) but im unsure if theyre safe. After the wounds heal, Ill still try the melafix. Is it possible for him to fight it off himself?
    Frogs take a long time to heal. You should continue treatment until frog either get's well or fails to recover.

He certainly doesnt seem like hes getting worse.
    Sorry your rescue is causing grief. Even for an experienced keeper with veterinary support; taking responsibility of an ill frog is very challenging and can always end in a dead animal. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
