White's tree frog prolapse

Glad the treatment worked and your frog is doing well. After I made my last comment, I thought about it and I am glad that Scott told you to wait. Sounds logical to me

Sorry you had to go through that with him, glad it's resolved itself. I lost my fav Whites Tree Frog boy to a recurring prolapse Was told by more than one person to NOT feed ANYTHING at ALL for 10 to 15 days, then to start slow with small amounts of soft food, like wax worms and earthworms. Unfortunately I was treating my frog using wax worms injected with Flagyl (oral Metronidazole) once a week so thought it was ok to feed him his medicated worms since it was 7 days out. Apparently not because he prolapsed a 2nd time (1st and 2nd resolved with sugar water soak) and the 3rd time it did not resolve and we had to put him down. It was also recommended that we get him to a herp vet experienced with frogs and they could put a stitch in him to help prevent further prolapse, but we don't have a good herp vet close by. Your guy's prolapse looked bad, I'd definitely fast him and keep your fingers crossed. If he prolapses again there's a good chance, O'm sorry to say, that without vet intervention he might not make it... and even then it could happen again and you'd face putting him down. If it does the kindest thing for him would be to put him out of his suffering as humanely as possible I really hope it doesn't come down to that for you and he lives a long happy and healthy life.

Would you mind telling me where you got your frog?

How scary, I'm really sorry to hear that! Fortunately we have a wonderful reptile vet just a few miles away although I really hope I won't need him. I got him from a reptile expo in Pomona, California. Thanks so much for your advice!
