    I hope it eventually works. Sad to say there was a user here who had a frog with an infected prolapse and she needed to euthanize it at home. I think the post is still around here talking about that. Edit (Warning, sick frog picture at top): http://www.frogforum.net/showthread....ght=euthanasia
    Hope it doesn't come to that, but if the frog doesn't get better or the vet won't work on frogs it might be helpful.

    Oh man, I might have to. I don't really know. The frog is ridiculously healthy, but nothing seems to be working. Left the frog in there for over an hour in sugar water, nothing. Tried pushing it back in, nothing. I might see if my vets can put Deku to sleep because I don't think I can :/

    If I'm not too late. It doesn't look good, but not too bad either. You need to place a frog in a quarantine. Clean papertowels changed daily, cover sides to minimize stress levels.
    Prolapse - you did great job so far. Try again to sprinkle sugar ( you can do more of it then before, cover the whole thing). The goal here is to lower the swelling and not to get bacteria involved. You won't be able to push it back unless the swelling is under control. Try sugar first. If swelling is reduced it should go back on its own.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Yes! We have been changing the towels every day, keeping them warm, etc. For a few days it got worse, but today it seems small. It's still not in but also doesn't seem to have any signs of necrosis.

    She (idk might be a he haha!), is very healthy still and so if Deku wants to fight, so will we. I just sprinkled sugar, and I'll try a soak later.
    Also, my WTF seems like they're trying to push out their prolapse which.. I don't know how to stop haha.

    There's still a chance then, glad it's looking smaller.
    Eesh, sorry your other WTF seems like it's about to do the same. Maybe skip/reduce feeding for a bit or give them soft foods.
