injured frog/back bubble

How is the frog? I would keep it in a basic setup (critter keeper) for now by itself with just paper towels, a water dish and maybe a small hiding area to monitor it better. Keep the area clean. It is hard to tell by the picture what is wrong with it. I would think a blister or burn would be red and possibly oozing or seeping and it doesnt look that way from what I can tell. If you cant take it to the vet bc you cannot afford it, maybe you should have passed on the frogs all together. Vet visits should be anticipated and are the responsibility of owning any animal. No animal is "free". There is always money that has to be invested for a quality, healthy pet and if you do not have extra funds for that, then you should wait to get an animal until you do. Sorry to seem harsh, I hope your frog is doing ok.

I agree with everything your saying, but I figured that a home away from 5 year olds who would probably kill them within a couple of months because of ignorance(the parents let the kids have the frogs as a "responsibility") even without vet care was better. I would never go out and buy a animal if I didn't have the means to take it to the vet, but I can at the least make a bad situation a little better.

Very true. It looks to me like you've rescued these frogs from certain death. Kudos

We have three of these little guys and one of ours has the same thing going on with her back. They don't have a heat lamp so I know it's not a burn. She's had it since we found her and sometimes it's bigger than normal but I can't seem to find anything on the web about it either. We live in a really small rural area and our only vet doesn't deal with reptiles so we are stuck with looking on the Internet for the answer. We have had the frogs for about a year now and she seems to still be doing fine. Both the females we have are very big eaters and seem to be quite plump so we've cut back on their food.
