    Default Re: WTF possible broken leg

    I recently had a frog injure a front leg (either dislocation or a break) and brought her in to a vet. They offered an x-ray, but didn't have monitoring equipment suitable for a frog to fix the issue regardless of what the x-ray showed. I talked to the vet for a while and we decided since she still had an appetite and was moving around to take some pain meds home (possibly more for my benefit than hers, but it made me feel better) and to keep an eye on her. I separated her from the other frogs she was housed with and has been doing fine since. Is your frog still interested in food? Able to get around? I would not consider euthanasia unless quality of life is low. I'm yet to have a frog that doesn't love food time, so I think that can be a good indicator.
    I used http://www.herpvetconnection.com to find a vet, contacted many and only one had vets who had worked with amphibians before. The vet told me that the leg may relocate itself if that is the issue otherwise scar tissue would eventually form and the frog would adapt to moving differently. I hope this helps!
