I am glad you were able to help you lil guy, very lucky frog.
Don't be ashamed of what we do for our pets if we didn't do these unmentionable things we wouldn't be good pet owners.
True story....I have lots of bunnies and they tend to get obstructions easily. My first and favorite, we won't tell the other ones, got an obstruction and I was devestated, since it is usually certain death for them, even with surgery. I found an online site similar to this one who suggested giving the bunny an enema, yup I did! I wanted to help him, a dwarf named bilbo, so badly I got a ear syringe, mineral oil, and vaseline and gave that poor sick bunny a high colonic and presto! He passed the blockage and lived for a few more years.
You do for your pets the same as for your children, since for most of us have as much love and compassion for them, so let your wife see the parallel and appreciate your paternal instincts.LOL
