Help! RETF with Prolapse?

[Grimm]

Thanks Froggy...Hopefully it gets smaller by morning...Since my last post it hasnt really reduced in size at all

I hope it isnt true but I may have caught the problem to late. I'll hope for better looking news in the morning and let you know how hes doing.

K well since last night it hasnt gotten any smaller.

The only positive note is that when he was falling asleep this morning he had his bum placed in the sugar water so it wont dry out today.

do you need help locating a herp vet, grimm? if so your location would help greatly.

I would like to take it to a vet..But I have read from other frog owners with the same problem that the vets want around 150-200$ and I just dont have it. I live in Edmonton Alberta Canada if that helps....Maybe I can find someone reasonable and get him fixed up.

Canadian Reptile Veterinarian listing (lizard, snake, turtle, tortoise, frog, salamander, amphibian)

i would call some vets and let them know you can't afford it... and what you can. those who truly love animals i'm sure would give you a break. typically ime they make enough money that they do handle some charity cases from time to time.

keep doing what you're doing, but by all means contact some vets and see what else you can do.

Called around town and only 1 place does work on amphibians...90$ just for the vet to LOOK at him, and who knows how much more it could be once the vet actually tries to help...What a joke... Looks like Ted is gonna die if it doesnt heal itself cuz I cant afford that rite now.

[beckdg]

at least you tried... and gave it some consideration...

that link does list 12 in the alberta/calgary/edmonton area. i don't know if they're still all running but it does say the list was last updated mar/19/2010... 10 days ago. of course that doesn't mean they're deleting any that are not taking herps or may be closed...

good luck. i hope he pulls through for you.

I know...I called all 5 places on the list from my city and all of them said they didnt take amphibians, then gave me numbers to other places. I basically went around in circles until I finally came up with the clinic that took over the amphibian care.

Im gonna pick up some Sterile KY Jelly and some Q-tips tonight if it hasnt healed. Vasiline was mentioned but someone on another forums said it will be harmful to organs (this may be a urinary bladder prolaps so better safe then sorry)

[beckdg]

your fingers may be a better option than q-tips...
