So I've had an Aftican Dwarf Frog for almost a year now, but I encountered a very odd problem. My frog somehow broke his right hand, and it fell off. This happened about 2 1/2 weeks ago. But what's wierd is that even after that trauma, he's still alive - and well. His right arm literally has his bone sticking out, but it doesn't seem to bother him. He's been acting completely normal. I'm not sure whether he will die anytime soon, or if he will continue to thrive. I'll try to attach a picture so you guys can see him
 
Either way, it's an open wound.

Keep water pristine or he could see a fungal infection.

I've treated the water for fungal infection (my corydoras spawned a few days prior to me posting this)

Here is an image of his arm:
(I don't know why it's oriented this direction. It's much easier to see through this imgur link: http://imgur.com/O9yDQVR )

He's a trooper! ;)

If he's acting and eating fine I'd just keep an eye on him. Keep the water clean. There's not much else to be done for him.

I have 6 adf and 1 of them I think has broke his arm in an accident, about a year ago! He still holds it down to the side and never moves it but he's always been well in himself. They resilient little things
