Help! I stepped on a frog :(

You already did more than most people would and you helped her heal a lot to give her even more of a fighting chance. Who knows maybe you'll see the little lady again

I hope so. I would truly like that.

Please help! I stepped on a little toad walking my dog earlier this morning. I felt/heard a pop under my foot & was very upset when i saw that i had hurt this little guy/girl so badly. It's intestines & a small reddish organ were poking out of it's body & all the way through it's skin just below it's right front leg, though the red bit seems to have went back into him. The left side of the under throat area seemed red, like blood under the skin maybe. It was quite still at first when i moved him closer to the tree & it's head seemed to fall a bit. I thought it had passed away but then it seemed to sort of wake up. It's throat seemed to be moving very rapidly & then he tried hoping/climbing away. He can't climb or hop well due to his injury. I spent all morning sitting with him outside. I tried keeping him & his organs wet with little drops of rainwater. I have no idea how to help him or ease his pain. Please PLEASE help us out!

He passed away just now, so no need to reply. He made it for around 2 hrs but at least he isn't hurting now. I feel absolutely awful nonetheless.

Hello and welcome to FF! I'm very sorry for dead frog and how you feel about it . In a case like this, with internal organs been squeezed out of body, the only help you can give frog is to end its suffering by applying "Orajel" to frogs belly area and euthanizing it. Also, please start new threads when you need quick help; piggy backing into old threads can actually mask your emergency.

Thank you very much for the welcome, & the advice. I should've looked up help earlier but I didn't want to leave his side in his condition. I'll remember the orajel information should anything so horrible ever happen again. I gave him a little kiss, said i was sorry & buried him under the tree. The poor dear
