It's the only FBT I've ever had, so I am completely inexperienced, but I've had him for over a year and a half with no issue. I got him from a friends sister who no longer wanted him and she didn't have any problems either. I 8didn't even know this sort of thing could happen.

What would a vet do to treat dropsy? I have a hard time believing there's nothing I can do myself. I'll call my regular vet in the morning to see if he treats frogs and will do so without breaking my bank.
A vet could possibly drain the fluid. Something that isn't in your ability to do safely.

I could suggest giving him a shallow bath of de-chlorinated water and Epsom Salt. The mixture should be one teaspoon of Epsom salt per 1 gallon of de-chlorinated water.

What kind of water do you use and do you have a filter and circulation pump in the Toads water source? Do you regularly make water changes?
I'm not sure if the bath will work for Dropsy.
