Help! I stepped on a frog :(

[MsBlueRose]

Well I am glad she seems to be doing better. I doubt she will eat until her insides heal up completely. If there is anything you can give her to treat an internal infection, I would give it to her. I would bet money on it that the clearish/reddish fluid she is leaking out of her mouth is from and infection from the injuries. Call a local vet and see what you can give her to treat it, or look it up on here and see what others are giving their frogs/toads to treat internal infections. I know there is something that can be given to treat it I just don't know what it is. If I find out, I will post it here for you. Good luck with the little girl, and make sure she has a dry side in her tank to get out of the water. Toads don't usually stay in the water for long. I am so glad she is doing better though, congratulations. Best Wishes; MsBlueRose

Well, her tank has been moist but not too wet. She spends most all of her time in a little indent ion in the dirt. I don't think she's eaten any of the small crickets I gave her but I know that she's peeing.

I took her back out to work tonight (countryside) to let her be free since I was fearing she was starving herself. Since checking on her, she swam in the pond and then hopped some. She's gotten bloated again and her jaw sac feels very dry.

I'm wondering if I should continue to keep her. I haven't found any info online about antibiotics and I don't have a vet, as I just moved to this area... a new state... not long ago.

Her throat sac alarmed me with it's crinkly-ness so I put a small bit of cocoa butter lotion on it and gently massaged it in. Two hours later and it's still nice and not crinkly at all.

Think I will take her home again until I hear from someone on here. I wish I knew what I was doing. I don't want to smother her but I also don't want to leave her to fend for herself when she needs me.
