    Update:
    Lucky has no appetite, I applied a thin coating of neosporin this morning, and Lucky is currently sitting in a pedialite bath. Lucky's coloring has not changed from that in the previously posted pictures.

    Ginger, you area lifesaver (literally!), thank you all for your support and advise.

    I will be contacting Dr. Frye tomorrow. There are what appear to be small chemical burns near the hind quarters (3 small sores).

    I still feel so terrible. I think I will keep Lucky out of the Viv/Terrarium until those sores heal.

    How would I supplement calcium/vitamins if Lucky isn't eating? Can a I make a dilution to spray her with?

    the pedialite is going to give her all she needs for now. I hope she's still active, and not sleeping in water all day. If she gets up to sleep and wakes up at normal time, this us a good sign. I don't know about putting vitamins in her water, she might have tummy trouble, and that would further irritate. Sometimes waxworms can entise a sick frog to eat. Any kind at Walmart or bait shop are fine. Hold them by the head and they'll swing around wildly. Once your frog becomes framiliar with them they will eat the slow moving worms without u piching.
    Good luck with dr frye, send him a picture in your email with all the details. I think of u both everyday, and thank you for the updates!!!!

    Accidents happen... I once placed a bottle of Windex next to my viv and later sprayed it in the viv thinking it was their water bottle. You've never seen a frog removed from a viv so fast, lol. Good luck with Lucky, keeping my fingers crossed.

    Oh gosh, was your frog ok after that...? D: I've since removed all chemicals from my room to make sure I don't make mistakes. It would be horrible to be responsible for something like that...but you're right, accidents do happen and these things can be a learning experience for people who make them. I hope I'm never as unlucky. D:

    I do have my fingers crossed for Lucky though, since the accident you've been doing everything right. Lord knows people have done much worse things to animals, and on purpose too.

    Lucky seems to have made a full recovery. It's back to full color and is currently bathing (I just reintroduced Lucky into the habitat) in a pool... read hiding under the broad leaves of a plant LOL.

    Thank You everyone for your help and support! I'm positive that Lucky would have died without your help.

    Ginger... Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

    I will post pics later

    Great to hear, I'm glad our advice helped little lucky! You should upload some pictures of his recovery! I'd like to get the last image of his poor little back out of my mind.

    You did a great job too by following all the procedures Ginger and others gave you, give yourself a pat on the back, it's always hard and worth while to nurse a sick frog back to health. ^ ^
