    Jerome see if you can get some Melafix. It should be located in any store selling aquarium products. Follow the instructions for diluting in water and bathe the frog in the medicated bath for 20 minutes per day until the wound is gone. The bath should be no deeper than half the hieight of the frog. After each bath return the frog to its hospital setup which you should be housing the frog in.

    Once you have healed this frog set it free.

    it would help if you could take a pic of contents of that bottle, if seems to be betadine, am i correct? if so you can't use it. You need antibiotics without painkillers.

    if you can't find melafix... then look what types of antibiotic or broad spectrum stuff they have in a fish section and use it for soaks + antibiotic cream for in between.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Methalyne Blue has been used to treat infections, but it is dangerous. Keep trying to find the medications we have recommended.
