ACF with a hole in his foot......Arrrggghhh!

[froggyfiend]

Last night my hubby chose to put 2 of our crawfish into our 30 g tank. I told him not to, but, they went in ther anyhow. He thought everything would be ok. Well, after watching them for awhile, I see one of them attack my frog. I started freakin out and told him they have to come out NOW! Well, he got them out. But now my poor little frog has 2 holes in the webbing of his foot! Will this heal? Can I do anything to make it heal faster?

it should heal up fine. add a little bit of salt and its all good...

How much salt? I have him in a 30 g tank

Id say a few tablespoons would do the trick. not real sure as Ive only used it on fish.

i'd say 1tablespoon per 5 gallons so thati'll be 6 tablespoons.. to be on the safe side you could add half of that... but honestly i dont think you should worry about it too much...

I would be very careful about using salt with frogs, they tend to be sensitive to it. 1 tablespoon in 5g water would be okay. Small wounds on the feet of frogs usually heal quickly. If you want you can swab the woundswith betadine or H2O3 solution but you really should not have to, just keep an eye on it for fungal infections
