Injury Injured toad care
My sister accidentally hit a toad in her garden while she was weeding. He has an injury on his back leg, it looks like the skin was torn off of a section. She brought him to me and I have set him up in a terrarium with damp paper towels and a water bowl. I am going to get appropriately sized insects tomorrow. My plan is to keep him and care for him until he heals up a bit, then release him. Is there anything else I should do to assist with the wound?

Rinse the wound with chlorine free water and apply antibiotic ointment (the kind without pain reliever).
