Rescue
Have you ever seen a frog get a bath?
Brought into our care after being caught by a cat, this common frog had been left with a number of small puncture wounds to the flank. It is advisable for all animals injured by a cat bite to receive a precautionary dose of antibiotics (due to the presence of the bacterium Pasteurella multocida) and, whilst this is usually given through an injection or oral medication, amphibians are a little different...
Able to absorb fluids and other substances through their skin, the best way to give a frog medication is to let them bathe in it!
Luckily, this frog made a fantastic recovery and was soon able to return to the wild.
