I'm just thinking out loud here (I've never dealt with nor read much about red leg so I'm uneducated on the subject.) And also, he had the discoloration when I caught him. But I know sometimes a toad (or any amphibian) can be found dead due to chytrid and yet have no signs of it, so this is just mysterious to me. I guess only time will tell now.. And thank you....
Chytrid is challenging to identify (usually requires tissue analisys) and even when some frogs have developed immunity to it, they remain carriers.

Only gave you a "heads-up" about Red Leg so you would read information and be prepared just in case. A wild caught animal is very stressed initially and some adapt... but some don't. No idea if releasing a frog with Red Leg would cure it. Once symptoms start, the frog actually has a bacterial infection. Imagine if disease stage is advanced and with no meds; the frog won't recover and die even if released.
