I just returned from vacation and found my two leopard frogs missing. Luckily, I just found both of them. One is fine but the other one has a cut on the outside of the left side of his mouth which I suspect is from banging on the lid to get out. Luckily it does not appear to be that deep but I have no idea of how to treat cuts in frogs and desperately need some advice.
Thank you

For the next few days you can apply a light dab of human topical antibiotic ointment such as Polysporin to the area. Perhaps more importantly though is to pay particular attention to their water cleanliness. Pseudomonas and Aeromonas bacteria thrive in unclean water and are common opportunistic pathogens in amphibians.
