This morning, a beagle who shall remain nameless apparently injured a little frog. This little frog:
I found him writhing and nearly upside down on the porch. I set him over the right way around but he appears to have a bum back leg. He’s stayed in the same spot all day, continually making pitiful attempts to move. I fear leaving him there much longer because a snake will get him. Sooooooo, I can’t think what else to do besides take him into my frog rehab center. Which I’m about to Google how to build. And I have no idea how I am supposed to feed him insects. To be honest, I was hoping to find a less killy, vegetarian option but so far Google is telling me insects and worms so that’s terrible.
If anyone out there has any suggestions on how best to help him, I would certainly appreciate them. I don’t even know what kind of frog he is.
YesBiscuit! 
I will alert experts.

Thank you. I am hyperventilating just reading about how to care for a frog, let alone an injured one.

Hello! Looks like a toad to me. Have you tried contacting any local wildlife shelters? They would be able to heal its hurt leg; otherwise I fear it might not get better, but if the injury isnt that bad you never know. Most pet stores sell crickets and worms so feeding is not too hard.

I haven’t found anyone who takes frogs but I’m still looking.

Might be able to at least get some phone advice from Tufts Wildlife Clinic:https://wildlife.tufts.edu

Thanks Alice. I got some good advice for transport on that site. I’ve found a place not too far from me that hopefully can take him. Waiting on a call back.

UPDATE: Frog is now at a wildlife center. Unfortunately, the person who checked him in did not seem very hopeful about his survival. I am going to call and check on him tomorrow. They gave me a little piece of paper with their phone number and “Toad 113” written on it so I can check back. Thanks to everyone who responded so quickly.
