    I think his arm actually looks pretty good, all things considered. Of course its going to be majorly bruised but the color on his hand looks pretty good. Even if it's broken it doesn't look like its gotten any worse and chances are it would heal over time. Give him time. Great job getting him out it could have been a lot worse.

    I am glad your frog is doing better. Here is a recommended treatment for Xenopus injuries from the RSPCA:

    A salt bath is also a good treatment for many of the problems that are found in
    amphibians. Treatment may either be a 10- minute dip in a solution of 25g salt/L or a bath
    for up to 3-5 days in a solution of 5-10g salt/L.

    Xenopus are tolerant of high salt levels (up to 40% sea water). You can try this treatment if the wound doesn't clear up within the next few days.
