Wasn't sure where this should go, since I am talking about one of my White's tree frogs I'll put it here. Plus I need to tell my story to other reptile/amphibian lovers.
I'm just in awe tonight of how our pets know when we are trying to help them and let us do it. Tonight my frog Frankie had another prolapse. I watched it happen and even watched him soak in his own water bowl to help it go back in. He couldn't do it on his own so I gave him a honey bath. An hour later it was still out. I put him in a makeshift hospital tank and with a q-tip and some antibiotic ointment tried to push it in. No luck. Into another honey bath this time the water was a bit warmer. Another hour later no change. I was starting to realize that he may die. Back to the hospital tank. This time I just used a q-tip with honey water and as I pushed up he started to push down! He realized I was trying to help him and he worked with me to get it back in! Here this little frog that can't speak first knew that he needed to soak his butt in his water dish and then knew I was trying to make him better. They are so amazing!
He's now spending the night in his hospital tank, which is just a large critter keeper. He's exhausted and attached to the side nearest me with his butt firm on the bottom☺
