    It is so hard to type when your eyes are swollen.
    Unfortunately, Leonidas passed away in his quarantine container just a while ago.
    We buried him in my boyfriends back yard next to his past dogs...
    Thank you all for all of your advice...

    Sorry for your loss. I hope this doesn't put you off frogs as pets.

    I am so very sorry to hear of Leo's passing. We could tell how much you loved him and I am sure he knew that, too.

    That just sucks! I thought for sure the Lamisil would do the trick and I am so sorry for your loss. Just take some solace in the knowledge that you did the best you could for him.

    Again, I am so sorry.

    This hasn't put me off frogs as pets, of course not.
    I am just, a lot more upset than I first thought that I would be when I brought him home last September. I never expected to get this attached to the little guy and now he's gone. Just like that. I loved him just as much as anybody would have loved a dog, or cat, or any other common house pet. I feel so guilty right now, because I could have started treating him so much sooner, had I not been so naive. It's so hard to let go. I'm grieving, but in the end- I hope to find a frog just like him again, someday. No frog will ever replace him, he'll always be my first amphibious friend. I do miss him so much though. This house seems so empty without him. Thank you for your sympathy, guys.

    Well one thing you can take form this experience is the knowledge of what to do next time this happens. So think of it as a learning experience.

    An extremely painful, painful learning experience.
    I don't think I have ever felt THAT helpless before. He was just wasting away. I will definitely remember this. All of you are so sweet, thank you for your sympathies. It means a lot. I hope that my mother invests in another WTF, because Leo was fabulous. My mother and two brothers and I sat down and had a good cry- and decided that when we were ready, we would find ourselves another little White's to care for.

    I'm only happy that he's no longer in any pain.
