    Default Injured frog with lumps all over, need help!

    So I'm going to start with Neosporin (without pain reliever) for the leg and the lumps, I'm thinking the lumps are a possible bacterial infection but not totally sure since they aren't discolored, but they are very squishy like they're filled with fluid so I'll pick up some Melafix and try that out. I want to try treating him myself and of course if necessary take him to the vet, I'll see if I can get a fecal sample tested for parasites too and see if that's an issue. He's not moving around much which is good for his leg, but worries me. I'd like to try and tong feed him a dusted cricket and see if he'll eat it, I know my little fatties love it when I bring their food to them ^.^ if not then I'll soak him in unflavored pedialyte if need be.

    I'm also using non powdered gloves and washing my hands before and after doing anything to his tank or touching him if I have to so I don't risk my babies getting sick.

    If any of this sounds wrong, or if there's something else I should do please let me know.

    His hospital tank will have a few leaves for sitting on, a damp unprinted paper towel, a shallow water dish with dechlorinated water and have 3 sides covered. Anything else I should add?

    Edit: looks like he has a black spot on his injured leg and around his back end. I'll try to get some better pics today. I put him in the tank, tried to give him a cricket but he turned his nose up at it lol so I took it out.
