Should I put down Daisy?

I'll post pictures as soon as I get the chance. I'm not sure I have the heart to put her down since the arm isn't affecting her that severely. I just wanna be sure she's truly suffering, which is difficult.

Euthanasia is a difficult subject. Ultimately it’s a decision best made by a vet and the animals care taker. Metabolic bone disease is a reasonable cause for euthanasia in its advanced state. It’s an unfortunate condition that is preventable but don’t blame yourself. Learn from the experience. I will caution you that amphibian euthanasia is an uncertain procedure. The techniques used on mammals are not effective on amphibians. Research has shown that it can be a potentially painful process if performed incorrectly. If you cannot find a vet familiar in amphibian euthanasia I would advise you to let the animal be. Find it a quiet place and a clean enclosure. Drape a dark cloth over part of it and just observe without stressing it. If it decides to feed after a few days, supplement with a good multi vitamin and calcium supplement. You could also try a soak in plain pedialyte for about 15 minutes to restore electrolytes and hydrate the animal. Good luck

I have some images of her and a link to a video showing how she moves and swims. She is able to still get around for the most part though.




Link to video. Sorry if you can't understand me; I have a mumbling problem and the microphone makes my voice sound really weird:

I got her when I was 11. I didn't know about the nutritional requirements of frogs and the nutrion of different feeders. She got mostly super worms because other feeders did't wriggle around as much as them and I had a hard time getting crickets in my feeding tongs. She also didn't get sunlight because I covered the sides of her tank so she'd be calmer. this is part of the reason why I think parents need to be careful about letting children get pets. Luckily I know what I'm doing now, and she wouldn't have lived if I left her where I found her anyways.

Aww poor little bitty frog I don't know, she could be ok, you're obviously a much advanced and really good frog keeper now, you may be able to nurse her back to health. Praying for you and Daisy

She’s doing much better. She is finally eating and coming out of her hide. There’s a lot less swelling in her arm now too. She’s a fighter...

That’s great! I’m glad she’s doing better. Her arm might heal crooked but my frogs arm did the same and she does fine!
