Gray tree frog hit by a car!!

She's probably still hurting. Could she have some invisible internal injuries? If so she might not make it. Sorry, hopefully it's only an eye and leg problem.

I wouldn't give her a companion, it would probably only cause further stress. Force feeding would be extremely stressful and might damage the already broken limb further, but eventually it might be necessary. Maybe she's having trouble seeing the food or moving to get it. Or she could be scared of you.

I don't know whether it would be a good idea to try a splint. Maybe someone else can tell you.

Sorry, haven't seen it before.

good for you! Thank you for trying to save her, that's people like you that make so much difference in a world!

Now. Good news- you did everything right and a frog is improving, do you have sides of the tank covered and the tank self is small enough for a frog don't try to jump? Do you have some decor that would create a hide of sorts?

Splints don't work, but frogs bones heal pretty well on its own. Use melafix ( fish section of pet stores), you just need to dilute it according to instructions on the bottle, it's mild tea tree oil solution. You can use it for spraying instead of water.

Can you please post the pic( you need to use photo hosting website and post link here) to see how everything looks like and if anything else needed. Don't worry about the food just yet. What were you trying to feed and how exactly?

Thanks a million for your replies.
Good news....
I was so concerned I dusted her with a bit of vitamins, to dust crix, and then soaked her again with a honey/ pedialyte mix and I guess it helped cause she's looking soooooooo much better.
She's moving around the tank at night, not hopping/jumping, but moving about as I'd expect an injured frog would.
I breed my own crickets and have a few gut loaded 1/2" in the tank (I have found a pile of poop just one that's it) she tried an adult crix on day 1, she must be been hungry, but mudtve been in pain and wouldn't try again or at least I haven't seen her eat.
I've got plenty of pics but because I'm not using taptalk, or whatever, I can't load my jpegs, but I'll try to work that out.
Thanks again, pics are coming and I'll check out the pet store for the melafix.

It sounds you are doing everything right, just carry on, I would suggest to dust in reptiboost(reptiaid) instead until she is healed. I'm sure she'll come around soon.
