| Frogs can become cut or wounded in a variety
of ways. Typical causes are human handling, self-inflicted
injuries and injures caused by another frog. When frogs get
scared they frequently injure themselves as they attempt to
escape from their encosure. Frogs often become spooked when
you make changes to their environment, so when doing so pay
close attention to the frog during the following days and
even weeks. You will also want to put a great deal of thought
into what objects you place in their habitat. Do not use anything
that is sharp or could potentially cause injury.
Open wounds easily become infected so take proper care if you
notice any cuts or abrasions on your frog. An anti-fungal solution
can be applied to help reduce the risk of infection. If it does
not appear to get better or if you suspect that it has already
become infected consult your veternarian immediately. Infections
can be very dangerous to frogs if they are left untreated and
can allow further bacteria to enter the frog. |
