HELP!!!! Frog Seriously Burned

[Ebony]

Seth, I would have thought the too but Ive seen other cases of frog burns on this forum and they have survived. So I think it has a chance if it's taken to the Vet asap.

I have seen frogs get burns from lights and heat pads and survive but it seems to me scalding water would be a more penetrating and less localized type of burn. I hope your right though. One way or the other I would think they will know in no more than a week or so.

I cant understand how or why this happened to this frog exactly, but it should be examined by a vet. I cant comment further because it would be an emotional answer as I feel extremely sorry for this frog if it was actually burned by hot tap water in a sink....

Yikes. Replace his substrate with moist paper towels. Give him a clean water dish with dechlorinated water. And provide something smooth and sterile for him to hide under. (Like a plastic rock cave/hide.) You need to keep him super clean by changing the water/towels daily. I would recommend putting some triple antibiotics like neomycin or neosporin or ozinol on him with a q-tip. Please take him to a vet as well. Check out this link for more information.

Any update on whether the frog lived or died? Inquiring minds would like to know...
