    Just an update on Jabba. This morning I went into the room he is kept in and he was on his back again. I flipped him over like usual but he kept his rear legs out behind him. I waited a few minutes and watched him push himself over to his back again. It was a really sad sight. Neurologically there was something wrong with him that would never have healed. I applied the oragel to his underside and he quietly passed away in just a minute or so. He didn't flinch or more when I applied the ointment, he just quickly and quietly went limp. This entire process was pretty devastating to me. I've kept reptiles and pets of many types my entire life but have never been in a position where I'm just lost on how to care for an animal. I'm sure there was something I was doing that inadvertently contributed to Jabba's condition but I'm not sure what it was. Probably won't get another frog for a while. I think we need to try some sort of a reptile that's a little more hardy and one that is more accepting to being handled semi-often.

    I appreciate all of your feedback throughout my posts.

    Hi Dan, so sorry to hear you had to make that decision. If it makes you feel any better I honestly think you tried everything you possibly could. And I know sometimes going to the vet is not option financially and sometimes because we just don't have one. When I brought mine in to the vet it was over $400 dollars to get everything done and just on medicine alone in the past 3 weeks I have spent over another $100. And this something I cant afford but she is getting abit better so I continue but when its all gone if she swells again I know it cant be fixed and I will have to do same. Going to vet can become expensive, and again you had almost everything perfect that's why everybody was stumped. I don't think it was something you did, I honestly think you just had a sick froggy. Again so sorry.
