    Yeah, it doesnt look too good, but have seen way worse that came back. Thank you for helping the guy, so many people would just walk away
    You seemed to be on a right track with wet papertowels, but use bottled spring water or use water conditioner for your tap water, fish tank stuff work too.
    You will need ziplock container ( anything plastic/glass would do, not too big). I cant tell if his leg is broken or not, in case it is the best he can't climb/move much in the container. You also need to out in there smth he can hide under, plastic/silk plant perhaps, shallow water bowl ( not needed today). Make sure all sides of the enclosure are covered with smth not see through. And that there is air ventilation and it not too wet in there, humidity cant go over 80%.

    The best would be to get flamazine, but original polisporin/neosporin WITHOUT pain killers would work. Apply it to the wound 2-3 times a day and change papertowels every day. And keep us in a loop
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Thanks so much for the reply Lija!! I will get some neosporin without pain relief, as all the stuff I have has it. I am afraid his leg is broken yes. Severed right at the hip joint. All that's holding it on is some skin and muscle. That's why it just sort of flops back like that.
    I used spring water on the paper towels, as I actually had some. I left him about 1/2 inch of water in case he wanted to get wet. I'm worried about the open wound though.
    Can a tree frog actually lose a back leg and survive? I just felt so bad for the little hopper. He has perked up since the sun went down. I pray he makes it through the night and doesn't get an infection.
    I put some mosquito larvae in a dish in his aquarium, I couldn't find any grasshoppers small enough for him. I hope he can eat skeeters. Anyway, I really appreciate your time. Hopefully he:she survives and we have a new pet! I will keep you posted! If he lives I'll have a ton of questions I'm sure!
