birdznfrogs Aug 09, 2003 12:56 PM

Hello all,
OK, I long story short my green treefrogs had been able to wedge him self half way out of the screen. I come in to my bedroom, and see in horror, as he's being crushed. I immediatly take the screen and light off, and half his bodies normal green(part of body that was out of cage, and other part was dark stressed green(the part that was in the cage). Well my treefrog looks ok, but I'm almost positive his right leg is broken!!!...I feel terrible, I've moved him into a quarintine style cage in a medium sized critter keeper.

There's no exotic vets ANYWHERE near where I live! What should I do next, anyway to splint the leg, is it almost deffinitly going to stay limp for the rest of his life? ANy help at all would be appreciated,

THANKS,
Steven

PS:Is his chance of surviving good?

ANY vet has x-ray equipment which can tell if it is broken or not.

I agree, all tetrapods have the same basic anatomy. You do not need a veterinarian specializing in exotic animals in order to have someone treat it.
