Help - Injured terrib

[clownonfire]

Thank you everyone. I'm an extremely sensitive and emotional being. I love my frogs, and I know for some this might sound absurd. They are not just little captive beings that I want to breed. They are my morning routine, and night one too. I had been counting obsessively the terribs since I got them.... I just don't know how it escaped.

I bought some Orajel and will take care of this once I get home. i am so so saddened by this. I can't believe this happened.

I agree with Mike. The more frogs we keep the more likelyhood that this will eventually happen to us all at some point.

I have also contacted Understory Enterprises to see how much it would be to get a new one. We don't have so much loose money right now with the wedding ahead. So hopefully the news will be good on that one.

Eric I am so sorry this has happened to you...but I believe you're doing the right thing. The little guy must be in pain and so frightened...

I'm tearing up just reading this. I have no idea what I would do in your situation, I would have to have someone else put the frog down I know I wouldn't be able to do it...I'm so sorry again for your loss. We all love our frogs (I hope) and understand your pain, even if we haven't gone through it ourselves before.

I commend you for your strength, please don't blame yourself, this is no one's fault. You're in my thoughts. <33333

Oh Brit. Thank you. And thank you for taking the time to write a few words. I had a major breakdown at work during lunch time. I know, I am super sensitive, but it is me. I am not looking forward to going home and putting down the frog, but it's the right thing to do.

Thank you all, very honestly. And I also received very sincere warm thoughts on Facebook from Lor, Lesley, my friend Michael Lawrence - dude, you're a class act, and my friend Cheri, who has gone above and beyond today in this matter.

We take good care of one another.

And a special thank you to Tony. Thank you for your words today. Can't wait to work more with you.

I'll be back tonight. I feel i will be a mess later on....

Oh no Eric!!!! Soooo sorry! I know you are doing everything you can, frogs are just stealthy escape artists and will get out if they are determined.....so sorrry.

I saw your post on facebook and now saw this thread here.

Again Eric I am soo, soo sorry. We get attached to these little guys and they become a part of the family. It is very hard to lose any sort of pet. Don't blame yourself. It is not your fault.

Have yourself a nice stiff drink later tonight! Take care. We are all thinking about you.

Not absurd at all, I'm totally with you on this.

I'm so sorry to hear about your little frog. I hate seeing anything suffer. It will be hard but putting it down sounds like it's for the best, so keep strong and don't beat yourself up about it.

I think it's better that you're sensitive Eric. How cruel for someone to be able to do this to their pet without feeling...I know it may be different for some breeders who have hundreds of frogs, but for the collector/hobbyist it is heart breaking...

Don't thank me I couldn't live with myself if I didn't say something, I feel so terrible for you. Stay strong. <3
