His is breathing OK and looks like he has been alive since this AM. Not quite sure what to do. I have some experience with exotics and will do whatever I need to do to help this little guy out if there is anything??
Thanks for your help

Maybe a mod can put this in a new thread in the treefrog section?
Meanwhile, jsalmon you should go get some polysporin cream right away. Spread some on the affected areas with a clean q-tip. Sometimes it's tricky to do this because the frog won't stop moving away. It needs to be applied at least 2 times a day.
The frog needs to be alone iin a clean enclosure. If you have a small spare aquarium, lay down wet papertowels in the bottom. This frog is arboreal so it will need some branches to climb on. Try to keep the tank simple so it's easy to keep clean.
Most important is to make sure the frog is eating. I'm not sure what experience you have with frogs so I'll keep this post short, if you have more questions just ask.
Can even check online. Have fun and let us know what you choose (Pics!)
