Cheri called me and after talking to her, the three of us decided to give it a chance and see if hse will recover.

    So she is in a 10 gallon right now, in a humid environment, on sphagnum moss, and a few places to hide with lots of leafage, on my desk in my office, and I will closely monitor her recovery. If everything goes well, I'll re-introduce her/him when the time is right.

    Thank you, Kisa. And everyone. I went to bed last night with a spinning head, but I'm feeling much better today, and optimistic.

    I'm glad you're giving her a try...I know I said putting her down would be best before but when I think about having to do that to one of my own frogs...I can't even imagine it. I know I would want them to be free of pain and suffering, but at the same time do everything I could to make them better. I know you'll fight for her Eric...

    This is sort of similar to the way I felt when I found Bruce was sick. Of course it isn't the same severity as your situation, but I thought several times about whether I would be able to let him go if he needed to and the answer was always "Absolutely not." You and I, and everyone out there feeling for you and your little terib, we love our frogs. They're more than pets, and even if you've only had her for a few days you're showing her all the support and love you can. You're incredible Eric, really. <3

    Sorry if that got too emotional, I'm a sensitive being as well and some times I just can't help but pour my heart out, embarrassing or no. >< Sorry...

    Thank you so much for your support, Brit. Being very sensitive myself, I appreciate this in others.

    Eric,

    I'm wishing her a good recovery . I know you will take good care of her. As Kurt said he has seen many frogs recover from worse.

    We are pulling for her. Take care.
