Aquatic frogs are likely to bloat if they have a disease or if water conditions are not properly maintained. There are two types of bloat: hard or soft. If the frog has "hard bloat", the skin appears too tight and is caused by a bacterial infection. Soft bloat is some times called the "Michelin-man" syndrome, where the legs look like balloons. This kind of bloat is usually caused by improper water conditions. Both kins of bloat is serious to the frog's health. Hard bloat is almost always fatal, but treatable if caught early. Frogs with soft bloat can be treated by maintaining proper habitat.
