Swab Bactine on the wound. It is very effective on amphibian injuries.

does neosporin work too?

[tgampper]

I haven't used neosporin myself. After looking at several sources, neosporin will work on amphibian wounds.

neosporin will work.i usually treat any redeye tree frog with nose rub.just apply it everyday.it should heal in a week or two. just make sure you keep the wound clean all the time.that will help to get it heal more faster.

It is really nice to see someone give medical advice that comes from an actual published paper involving scholarly research, instead of hearsay or just repeating something that is commonly done with no solid reasoning. Thank you.
