Default Injured Tree Frog

Need your help. I just found a large tree frog. grey approx 3" in length. Looks like he was hit by a weed eater and has a nasty wound on the nose area (you can see down into his mouth) and his skin is open on his left hind leg. No muscle damage just skin removed. 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
John

The only thing you can do aside from takeing him to an exotic Vet is to put him into a tank with paper towel as a sub or anything thats easy to remove and use alot of fake hanging plants with suction cups. your goal is to not have any bactiria in the tank and you should clean it as often as you can.the reason i suggest the fake plants is ease of cleaning and disinfecting and if you use a bunch a couple can be taken out at a time as not to add anymore stress to the animal. Only add 1 cricket at a time and watch it from afar. if he eats it add another or if not remove it. Be sure to consult a Vet because he may need antibiotics and a vitamin increase to aid in healing such a large wound. I hope everything works out, good luck

I have the oniment and so far he is still alive. Keeping him moist and seeing if he will eat. Still touch and go.
