FrogSafe offered specialised knowledge about frog rehabilitation and received calls for help from locations across Australia and even internationally.

"We get calls from all over the country, and we've even got a few calls from overseas – Indonesia, Italy, the US," she said.

Frog rehabilitation is a specialised area, and many veterinarians do not know much about them because they are not a "standard animal", she said.

"It's still very much a grey area, it's not established enough, there might be a few vets that have an interest – but they're not a standard animal that much is known about,"

We did something *almost* as dumb. Found a painted turtle that a car had hit, smashed shell in several places. Took him home; aunt pediatrician, sanitized the wound; diagnosis obviously above her pay-grade. Found a vet who specialized in reptiles. LSS, brought the turtle in, vet said he could *help*; we left the turt, got a call the next day from the vet to come and get him. $300 later, we took him home with an IV contraption the vet had made for a drip. FFw, turtle recovered and went off to live a *happy* [I hope]life in the swamp.

Dumb? Yes. Very. Would I do it again? Nope.

So maybe to get good hospital care in the UK one needs to identify as a frog

In the mean time, only 500 humans were sucked from the wombs of their mothers in the time it took to get a stupid frog to a “hospital”.

Priorities. Perfect.

The common green frog was run over in April by a woman who was "very distraught",

Is that worse than being mildly distraught?

I can envision a future where there are frog, racoon, snake etc. hospitals, but very few people hospitals.

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.

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.
