MY SWEET LADY LOVE

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL TOO GRAPHIC FOR SOME VIEWERS. {ESPECIALLY FROG LOVERS!}

AS SOME OF YOU MIGHT KNOW OUR LITTLE CLAWED FROG L.L. {AKA LEENA LIGHT FOOT OR LADY LOVE} FELL ILL SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON SHE DEVELOPED A BACTERIAL INFECTION. SHE WENT DAYS WITHOUT FOOD. CHRIS AND I WERE FRANTIC AND WE RUSHED TO PET SMART FOR SOME MEDICINE. SHE LOST A TOE ON HER REAR RIGHT FOOT AND HER LEFT FRONT HAND BECAME VERY SWOLLEN AND RED. SHE DEVELOPED A SECONDARY FUNGAL INFECTION ON THAT HAND {SOME COTTONY STUFF FORMED AROUND HER FINGERS}. THAT INFECTION ATE AWAY AT THE FLESH ON HER FINGERS.
WELL, AFTER SOME ANTI-BIOTICS, ANTI-FUNGALS AND SOME GOOD ADVICE FROM DR. SMITH, SHE HAS MADE A DRAMATIC RECOVERY. THE TOE ON HER REAR FOOT HAS NOT GROWN BACK. IT MAY NEVER REGENERATE. HOWEVER, THE FLESH ON HER FRONT HAND HAS HEALED. IT'S A LITTLE STUBBY. SHE DOESN'T HAVE FINGERS BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE TISSUE HAS BEGUN TO REGENERATE. THEY MAY NEVER LOOK LIKE FINGERS AGAIN BUT SHE CAN USE THAT HAND EASILY AND IS EATING LIKE HER CHUBBY OLD SELF AGAIN.
MOST CASES LIKE THIS ARE FATAL. CHRIS AND I ARE SO LUCKY THAT SHE IS A STRONG, HEALTHY, HAPPY FROGGIE AGAIN. THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT. L.L. APPRECIATES IT ALSO.
