A frog hit by a lawn mower in Mount Isa owes its life to animal lovers who worked to fly it across Queensland for life-saving treatment at a special Cairns frog hospital.
The common green frog was run over in April by a woman who was "very distraught", FrogSafe president Deborah Pergolotti told 9NEWS.
The frog suffered a "deep gash" to his back and the woman called a relative for help, who in turn contacted FrogSafe's Cairns Frog Hospital.
The group then coordinated a rescue effort, enlisting the help of a regional airline and an animal transport company to fly the frog to Cairns.
"We were able to get on the flight on Monday (April 18), and by this stage he had gotten infected,"

Someone should have given her a draught of wine. Then she would been less distraught.
They really do taste like chicken. Try some, you’ll like ‘em.
Can’t think of anymore cliches, so bye for now. :-)
paganism....pagans worshiped animals, plants, the weather over humans, let alone GOD....
I am at a loss for words here. A Frog Hospital. Wonder what all that cost and if someone who truly needed help could have been helped.
Worshipping creation rather than the Creator
Fuji Buffet on John R always has piles of frog legs. Never tried them.
Their website looks tasty, I'm going to have to try them some day......
OK, hop to it......
Praline Next we have number four, ‘Crunchy Frog’.
Milton An, yes.
Praline Am I right in thinking there’s a real frog in here?
Milton Yes. A little one.
Praline What sort of frog?
Milton A dead frog.
Praline Is it cooked?
Milton No.
Praline What, a raw frog?
Milton We use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.
Praline That’s as may be, but it’s still a frog!
Milton What else?
Praline Well don’t you even take the bones out?
Milton If we took the bones out it wouldn’t be crunchy would it?
Praline Superintendent Parrot ate one of those.
Parrot Excuse me a moment. (exits hurriedly)
Praline Well, the Superintendent thought it was an almond whirl. People won’t expect there to be a frog in there. They’re bound to think it’s some sort of mock frog.
Milton (insulted) Mock frog? We use no artificial preservatives or additives of any kind!
Praline Nevertheless, I must warn you that in future you should delete the words ‘crunchy frog’, and replace them with the legend, ‘crunchy raw unboned real dead frog’ if you want to avoid prosecution.
Previous to the one I mentioned , we did do a painted, filled his split with Bacitracin and bound him with duct tape [long B4 the days of Gorilla products]. I need one of those *I brake for turtles* bumper stickers; and this is the season. ;)
See them all the time.
Maybe you just don't have the right stuff in your yard.
Just about stepped on a toad the last time I was at the doctor's office.
Toad was hopping across the parking lot.
I forgot to check under the mower deck once, before starting the lawnmower. A large frog apparently was sitting on top of the blade. It threw bloody frog parts all over the place. I felt bad about that, had to wait until the next day to mow, figured the birds would pick up the frog parts and they did. Sorry, froggie, I didn’t mean to do that.
My yard is infested with green tree frogs. I can’t trim the hedges without slicing up a few. And they’re getting in the house. The other day I was taking a shower and saw one clinging to the shower wall. We have also found them clinging to the inside of the windows. We catch them and throw them outside. I have to check the grill before I fire it up so I don’t accidentally cook a few.
