Help! My frog is sick :'(

[Froggir13]

When I woke up this morning, and went to my frog tank to clean it, I saw that my Whites tree frog Bluberry, was very thin, bloated, skinny legs, and has green splotches all over his back. I am very worried about him! He never gets sick. He has a healthy diet of: crickets, and organic earth worms. I keep the humidity at 80% and heat at 75 digrees. The frog bedding I use is: Eco earth dirt. Is he gonna die? Please help! :'( P.S. about a year ago, my sister's frog Blumpy had the same simptoms but passed on. I hope it's not the same thing! (The frog on my avatar is Blueberry)
