    Default Help! Cuts on peackock tree frog!

    I woke up this morning to find my room trashed on the floor below my frog's tank. My cats had of course done it, and I thought nothing of it until I went to clean it all up later and found my Peacock Tree Frog on the floor. I did not think he was still alive, but he moved slightly when I picked him up. His toe pads were mangled, his body completely dry and tangled in hair and what not, his eyes were half-closed and glossed over, and he had various cuts. I've tended to him for the last 40 minutes, and he is surprisingly doing a little better. Right now he is soaking is tepid spring water with a small amount of HerpCare stress powder. I do not know what to do about this cuts though. The one on his nose close to his nostril is kind of deep, and he also has one on his flank and his stomach. http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/2859/zzzzzb.jpg http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/8148/dddddddddnl.jpg I have read that Neosporin or Bistine would be ok to use on the cuts. But I'd like opinions from you guys. Please help! Thanks, Sara

    Oh no, I'm so sorry this has happened to your little guy.

    I have used Neosporin without pain relief (the pain relief will kill the frog) to tend to some scrapes my White's got a little while ago, I think it'd be ok to apply it for a few days to stave off infection.

    That's really my only advice in a situation like this, you're doing good to treat him with the water. Another thing you can do is put some drops of honey in some water, let them dissolve and sit him in it for a little while. Honey is soothing and has antibacterial properties and may bring your little guy around if he seems lethargic or scared. Just another idea.

    I hope he recovers.

    Just let it heal naturally.

    I also threated the wounds, of mostly WC animals who scratcht themselfs since the aren't used to being locked up.
    But just letting them rest is maybe even better.
    With handling the frog, you stress them out wich isn't reccomended as well.
    When you look at WC treefrogs you often see all kind of scars on mostly the head and back.
    Just let it settle if the cuts are as small as it looks like in this case.
    Only when you notice it getting infected you need to treath it.
