Injured frog

[Herpvet]

Hello all, I'm a noob so sorry if I post in the wrong place ^_^

I have just found a frog out on the pavement, on his back, scuffed nose and a missing eye.
I think a bird must have had a peck, I currently have him in a tub with a bit of rain water and a couple of worms incase he is hungry.
There is alot of blood but he seems surprisingly active.
Can anyone give advice on how to treat him?

Thanks

Hi Tana,

You should try to find a sympathetic vet who can have a look at the frog and assess him/her properly - that would be by far his best chance.

I don't know the vets around Bournemouth myself but if you try your local vets they should know someone who may be willing to see and treat the frog.

Hope you can get him/her sorted out.

Bruce.

Hi welcome to the forum.
To be honest I wouldn't be bothered one bit about the missing eye as when I lived in England we had a big pond and quite a few rose bushes and one day I saw a frog with a mutilated eye socket and no eye (probably lost it in the rose bushes), and yet it was a fat happy common frog which I saw for quite a few months before moving back to NZ. So I wouldn't be surprised if it mangaes fine with one eye it's just the wound I would be worried about. If you decide to keep it then when you put food in I would just put the food on the side that has an eye.
Hope this helps
Luke
