Little Ivan (my little male White's Tree Frog) isn't doing well today. I had gotten up to go to work and checked on the frogs and found Ivan trying to climb up on the upper ledge to go to bed. He was staggering around and fell a couple of times, nearly falling the entire way from the top of the frog house to the floor, before catching himself.

He's so weak, he can hardly move now. I took him out and held him for a little bit, then put him back on the warm ledge in the frog house. He's huddled there now, in a small little ball and I don't think there is much I can do for him, except wait and watch while he passes away.

I called off sick from work. I think I'm going to try and find a veterinarian who knows something about frogs and try to get Ivan in for an emergency appointment, if I can. This may be a long stretch, but I want to feel like I've done everything I can to help him.....or have him put out of his misery. My heart just can't stand to see him suffer like this.

It's been a long haul for little Ivan, so I'm lighting a small candle for him. In the past year that I've had him, he's brought so much love, joy and laughter to my life. I hope G-d has a special little place reserved for him in Heaven.
