Prolapse!!! D:

[Lija]

Sry wasn't there earlier. You need sugar. Plain white sugar, make a strong solution and cover the prolapsed area. ! you can use sugar right on too. Sugar will reduce swelling and the prolapse should get in on its own. After the a an hour or so if it is not happening, put a frog in a water bath with a few drops of honey ( 20 min) followed by hydrolytes bath (20 min). Watch it, it is dangerous if it nkt retracted for longer time. You may need to go to vet to help fix that. For most frogs however sugar (more swollen) or honey ( less swollen) helps.

Soon as I saw this I ran off to the local cafe and ordered coffee with a "bunch of sugar packets" in a sack to go, then I got back here and made a really thick syrup by adding spring water to 4 packets of sugar and dripped some onto the prolapse using a syringe. He was sleeping but woke up when I opened the lid on the keeper. Now I have to dash off to my sister's for her birthday... was supposed to be there at 3:00 but my green baby comes first I couldn't get the honey because the health food store was closed, so will have to do the best I can with the Pedialyte and sugar... Thanks for the info <3

Oh poor baby I'm so sorry sHEila is not feeling well!

LIJA THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! We got home at 11:30 PM (way later than I wanted!) and I checked on sHEila immediately and... the prolapse had completely receded! He had soaked in his dish and left a little poo in there, and when I fed everyone else he seemed VERY interested. I went in the other room and he started calling, so I went in and fed him just one small soft wax worm, hoping it would take the edge off and keep him calm. I'm leaving him in the small keeper tonight and will see how he's doing in the morning before I put him back in with Jelly Bean, who kept staring out at the keeper as if wondering why her buddy was in there. I am SO relieved, but I will be keeping a close eye on this little guy.

Thanks again! And thanks too, Amy! ^_^

I would avoid feeding him anything for as long as you feel comfortable. It needs time to heal and you don't want him to have to pass anything at all. I have no idea about fasting and your coccidiosis treatments though, the vet who provided you with the medication should be able to help with this (of course they may also ask to see your frog as well).

Glad it went back in, and best of luck.

Thanks He actually did get one small wax worm late last night. Think I should hold off giving him anything again tonight until it's time for their treatment on Sunday? They get their Metro injected into a wax worm and fed to them that way. So far I've been feeding them daily since I haven't been able to find definitive info on when to switch them to an every-other-day feeding schedule; also someone on FF recommended that they be fed every day during treatment.

What are some other good food choices I can make for my WTFs that are easy to digest but not as fatty as wax worms? I've been feeding just crickets (except for when they get a wax worm with their meds) and sHEila has always been a voracious feeder.

Here he is, sleeping comfy back in his rightful place this afternoon

Earthworms. You can usually get them from a bait shop, make sure they're undyed. We have a gas station here that sells them about 2 blocks away.

+1 for earthworms if he'll accept them. You can dig wild ones as well if you have a chemical free area to scavenge from.

If it weren't for the treatment, I'd have no problems going a couple weeks without feeding given how plump it looks. However I honestly don't know how fasting and your medication will mix.

Just not red wrigglers, probably. My frog puffed up with air and skwawked at me after he tasted one. I think it may have put him off earthworms for good. He liked the Canadian nightcrawlers I gave him before, though. Edit: Also, I cut them down to bite-size one-inch pieces for him. Wasting part of the worm was better than choking the frog.
