Please if anyone can help me, i feel so bad for her...this started about a week and a half to two weeks ago.

Im panicing someone has to know something on these guys....her leg has gotten so much bigger since this morning i cant take this i feel so bad that i cant do anything...
ill post another picture that i just took when i got home form work...

(mind you my frogs are spoiled i work in a store thats half a pet store called countrymax i work in the pets, so i know a thing or too, specially about fish and things but the frogs i dont know their diseases and stuff....idk and i cant diagnose this myself...

Not sure what to suggest since this is a frog and not a fish.

I think you ought to consult with a vet in order to receive an educated opinion of what may be wrong with the leg.

Sorry that I couldn't be of help.

edit: there is a product, for fish, known as NT labs paramedic kit (URL: http/www.swelluk.com/koi-carp/koi-pond-treatments-36/fish-disease-treatments-275/nt-labs-koi-care-paramedic-kit-903.html ) which can be used to clean wounds/infected areas and seal it to prevent further infection. It may come in handy for the frog, though I wouldn't recommend using the 'koi calm' solution provided with the kit as it may not be suitable for calming anything other than a fish.

These frogs are just like fish except they have legs?? So their diseases are a little more in number because they have legs to account for, anyways thanks for the help. I ended up contacting my fish supplier he's a pretty awesome expert on them and it turns out she just has a bacterial infection JUST like fish get so i got the best medication for it called Triple Sulfa. Dont know why i didnt go to him in the first place, thanks for everyone who read this!
