My frog Cletus got sick. I took him to the vet on Friday in hopes to help him. He didn't even seem to be that sick, but I was informed otherwise. Turns out he had a horrible bacterial infection and was given a 20% chance of living. I freaked out, but knew I had to do what it would take to help him. The vet also told me there was a good chance that Sacramentoad (Cletus' cagemate) could have gotten the same bacterial infection.
I separated them, however Sacramentoad already had a sore on her. I was horrified that she would get sick also. I gave her the same treatments I was giving Cletus and hoped for the best.
Sadly, that wasn't enough. When I woke up this morning Cletus had passed away. I had failed him, but I am determined not to fail Sacramentoad. She seems to be responding to the medication much better. I hope she will be okay.
Savannah and I went to the river to lay Cletus to rest. I have never been to the river before. It made me realize why I left Southern California--I crave natural beauty. To see the trees, the water... the history, everything! I am definetely going to visit the river more often.
Granted our outing to the river was not one marked with lively intentions, we encountered a lot of death while we were there. First we saw a dead beaver. I didn't even KNOW that beavers lived in Sacramento. We poked it with a stick for a second trying to figure out what killed it, but we couldn't figure it out.
And then there were all the bones. There were tons of fish remains... and then the random bones. We couldn't figure out what kind of bones they were. Human, perhaps? Lol. Regardless, it was an interesting outing.
I am so exhausted, I need to sleep.
