Hey guys, thanks for all your kind words and thoughts!!!

Anyway my appoinment was at 2 yesterday and i got there for 4 as it was literally on the other side of the country and by the time i had got there the situation had got alot worse he was litterally inside out .
After i finally got there the vet was so nice to fit me in there an then she give me two options put him to sleep or surgery so i said surgery(obviously), And after two hours the surgery was over and there was no complications atall and everything got stitched into place perfectly the only problem he had not fully come round after the anaesthetic betime the vets was closing so the vet is opening her shop just for me at 12 to pick him up, so fingers crossed one last time there was no complications has i cant find out till 12.

thanks guys everything is much appreciated...cheers

oh, I hope that everything is good. And wow, you had to cross country, sorry I didn't answer transport question. Your a caring owner, I'm sure you figured that out. I'm currious if it was a rock or somethingthat caused it, or just a torn butt. And if he'll be ready to have food, or if they'll do a liquid diet.. ...

I know it sucks to dish out a bunch of cash, but when opal ate a bunch of moss, I was facing impaction, or vet. If he hadn't pooped it out, I'd be running 4/5 hours to the vet also. He's my talker, my favorite Lil peanut.

Thank you soo much for sharing, and everyone is rooting for a full and speedy recovery.

You might be right about spending a lot of money but as long as he loves his frogs and wants the best care for them.

Glad to hear you made it to the vet. I hope he comes around and ends up healthy and happy - if not you know you've done the most anyone could possibly do for the little bugger. *hugs*

Heys guys, Great news i went and picked him up yesterday and hes absolutely fine like nothings ever happend until you lift him up and see a load of stitches it looks totally sore.

The vets have gave me antibotics and a syringe and i cant get him to open his mouth any suggestions?. I also was thinking about the liquid diet but the vet said leave him a day or two and then feed and he will be fine. It was his butt muscle it was totally torn it was not impaction which i assumed it would be they said 99% the same thing will not happen again which im delighted with.
As for the price it was £204 but it was money well spent i saved my lil guys life.

Thanks once again for all the kind words guys and help its all been much appreciated.

cheers....deejay.

ps; I will upload pics as soon as possible.

[Leefrogs]

that's so awsome!! I'm very happy for you and your frog. As far as getting his mouth open, use a plastic spoon turned upside down. Gently.

You diserve rep and major applause!!

I think you've done a great thing for your frog. I really commend your level of commitment.

[DonLisk]

Very nice and hope all works out.

[Leefrogs]

I would just neosporin it. Maybe a good picture for the gurus to look at. If it seems to get better in a few days then you know it was no problem
Makesure it had NO pain releiver

Most serious problems start on the belly or legs.

I'm glad he's eating SOMETHING though.

[Malachi]

Is this the same guy that went to the vet?

[Deejay Mayweather]

yes,why?

Ok i phoned the vet today and explained this bright white patch on his back and they said that in the morning after the opereration he had hard dry skin on his back and they removed it with warm wet cotton wool,could this be the cause???

[Leefrogs]

I think he may have stuck to the table/or paper durring surgery. Is it right on a pressure spot, like where if he were to roll over, all his weight would be on that spot? There's been some bad frog burns here, with Picts, that healed up in a month. So I would think, that it should heal quick. just watch for infection, if it looks dry/scabby it probly fine. If it grows, bleeds, pusses, or anything weird, a little neosporin. But it's been a few days, it's probably dry and clean, and in a good spot to keep clean.

[Deejay Mayweather]

hey lee, its all over his back this big white patch but ive just noticed him scratching it and its slightly bleeding. It seems to be very sensitive has when i spray him he arches up. It isnt dry it just seems to be moist like the rest of him am i best letting him dry up for a few days ie...no water bowl and no spraying him down??? Im confused as to what to do....

Im waiting or a call back off the vets know for more info..

[Leefrogs]

I would go down to the minimal humidity on this species, not framiliar with bull frogs. Sorry. For whites I can go down to 50%. let him have his water bowl. And as wound heals, they do itch. It's a good sign. If he's got your frog on anibiotics this will eliminate infection.
