Help: Injured Bullfrog Care

[Pleasantly]

Awe, I wish I knew more about first aid and care tips, especially for wild frogs. But I don't, it sounds like your doing all you can for the little guy. If he doesn't make it. (: You at least know you gave it your best shot, and your boys are angels, it's absolutely sweet they cared enough about one little ole frog to bring him in so you could free his leg and do your best to nurse him to good health.

I'm so glad my boys care about animals and show compassion. When I was a kid, a little boy was a death sentence for a wild frog.

The frog is still with us. The boys named him "Survivor" His leg appears to be getting better, but I just noticed today that his toe on the same leg is either cut with a small bone poking through, or maybe a tendon? I'm not sure, but it is white. I try to apply neosporin to it and he gets really jumpy. I don't want to cause him too much stress. He's still not eating and he's not going into the water, but he appears to be improving. He has more energy overall, and more life in his eyes. I'm still washing over his back with water and plain pedialyte. So for now I'm just going to continue what I'm doing and hopefully he will fully heal up and we can release him.

Have you tried tong feeding (if you have some) just rub the prey on it's mouth and hopefully it will bite.

I haven't, but I will give that a try in the morning. Thank you.
