On Saturday the 9th at 9pm I found a adult female gray tree frog laying in the road.
I have a pond on the edge of my property only feet from the main road that circles my community lake.
At first I picked her up to get her out of the road but noticed blood and realized she was injured.
I've had Gray tree frogs as pets for many years, so I'm fully equipt for anything
Her right front leg is definitely broken as well as an injury to her right eye, which she won't open. I haven't given her a thorough exam because she initially looked stressed. There was a small amount of blood coming from her right front and back leg and underneath her right side, I suspect a few minor abrasions.
I think she got clipped by a car and not run over.
I set up a 20gal temporary tank with paper towels. I also wrapped her with a wet paper towel soaked with treated warm water, pedialyte and honey.
July 12..she's improving, not moving around much but she's used her broken leg, so I suspect the muscles and nerves are intact. The fracture is closed, but I can clearly see bruising around the fracture and her toes.
I looked her over a bit more last pm and do not see any open wounds, the small abrasions healed, and she shed the night before last.
I've treated frogs with eye injuries before, so I'm confident I can take care of that injury....actually she's starting to open her eye and it's looking better
My concern and question is about the right front leg...should I leave it alone, splint it?
Any advice would be welcome
