Missing Limb

[lraulston]

Wow, first off sorry that your frog is missing a foot. Sounds like there is no infection though, which is good. She will learn to complensate for it, and as Kurt said keep her in a clean environment until all is healed if it isn't already. Strange for sure, but sounds like she will do okay.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I did keep her separately but put her back with the group yesterday, I know I should be more patient but I have been keeping them in a addis style tub with sphagnum moss (clean) and a small plastic hide and water bowl and gave it a good clean before I put here back. Plus the wound seems 100% healed so altough I may have jumped the gun from my experience with working with other herps (even though I admit I am a novice with amphibs) I made the judgment call.

She is the largest of the group and feeding really well on a balanced diet so that is perhaps the reason see healed so quickly.

But once again thanks for all the help, this forum is a really helpful bunch of people and I appreaciate that a lot!

You're welcome.

Just some feedback on the subject. The female with the lost limb is doing really well and still manages to climb up the side of the tub and is eating like a champion and growing really well. Thanks to everyone for their help

You're welcome and that is wonderful news!
