Gray Tree Frog with Red Swollen Leg - Help!

[beccabu]

Hello again, back to post another update! So I got the Melafix and Pimafix and for the last 24 hours have been soaking the frog for 20 minutes in the morning and at night with non-chlorinated water and as per bottle instructions. I'll continue to do this as it seems to be doing a good job. I believe there may be a hint of the skin starting to regrow, but the only portion that worries me is the tip of the toes as that has the darkest skin on it and I'm not sure if it is getting better or worse at this point. He doesn't seem to mind the soaking, as long as he gets to be in there with a leaf

I also purchased some meal worms, thinking that with a hurt leg it might make for an easier meal. I believe that he may have eaten one last night and so I put two more in the cage overnight tonight. I'll see if they are there in the morning, but this would be the only food he has been willing to eat for the last three days, so I'm hoping that he will start to show a more regular appetite soon.

Here is another picture below as an update (from his soak tonight), it is a little dimmer than the previous ones which makes comparison a little more difficult but I think he is doing good considering everything!

Crickets will be easier for him to digest at this point, you can tong feed him, all my greys take food really well that way. You could also try and get him to eat some earthworm pieces. Thank you for the updates and thanks again for helping him!!!

Thanks to everyone for your help and assistance. Unfortunately I think it was all just a bit too much for this little frog who died a couple days ago. I did try to get him to eat some crickets which were refused but it seems it just was not enough. The last time I bathed him he seemed very weak and tired. I'd like to think that given the injuries the chance of survival was low to begin with and at the least I provided the best chance possible for this frog. If anything I have a much greater understanding and respect for these little guys! Thank you again for all your help along the way!
