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,"
What’s more stupid, some loon trying to save a frog or the fact that there’s a frog hospital?
Cricky!
It ain’t easy being green......
Clearly, we could all take some tips from anyone enterprising enough to be able to make a living with a frog hospital!
Well. It could have been a prince.
"...maybe a dingo nipped your froggie"
When saw th headline, I thought that it meant a Frenchman.
But it seems they're as looney as us nowadays.
I would bet $1000 that every one of these loons is pro-abortion.
No doubt she thought it was surely that prince she has been waiting for.
I saved a frog from being eaten by a snake once but that is about the most I can do.
I spent 5 weeks in Oz 6 months ago, they are a very happy well fed, fun bunch of people, the product of a successful capitalistic socialist policy, but i say that with criticism as i see the nation itself as a huge flock of contented sheep.
They won’t band up nor organize in protest like in the USA, if they did they might lose the benefits, the high paying jobs, the excellant food and wine.
I would love to live there but i would be the outcast, critical of all things being too nice, too easy, too calm and peaceful, unarmed and unprepared to handle a calamity, an invasion or crisis. But Aussies are better at making do with less than i’ve seen in the US, America has far more stuff thats cheaper, in Oz its less, its smaller, its more expensive. And if its not good for the people its highly taxed.
Although the gash was bad, the most complicated part of the treatment was removing the hand from his backside. They never did find his little banjo.
I killed a frog the other day....
Before I shock my pool I check for them....
Must have not seen it....found it floating in the skimmer....
I had about one nanosecond of remorse and tossed the poor guy out in the yard....
Yeah, I know I’m a heartless SOB for not having a full frog funeral with a solemn reading from a Kermit the Frog book...
Not sure I can live with myself, but I will somehow manage...
Bass bait. I often impale things like frogs minnows crabs etc upon hooks. When done I chuck them overboard if still alive. No stitches, butterflies or bandaids.
I do, do surgery on the fish caught, though. I practice fillet and release.

THE DEATH OF A TOAD
A toad the power mower caught,
Chewed and clipped of a leg, with a hobbling hop has got
To the garden verge, and sanctuaried him
Under the cineraria leaves, in the shade
Of the ashen and heartshaped leaves, in a dim,
Low, and a final glade.
The rare original heartsblood goes,
Spends in the earthen hide, in the folds and wizenings, flows
In the gutters of the banked and staring eyes. He lies
As still as if he would return to stone,
And soundlessly attending, dies
Toward some deep monotone,
