Sick Red Eye. Please Help!!!!
Today I noticed one of my red eyes had a polyp or blister growing out of her eye. I only noticed this area today and immediately placed her in an isolation tank. I have no idea what to do for her other than to keep her in isolation. She can fully close her eye lid over the area.. most likely why I only noticed it today. I thought she was just being lazy the past two evenings and did not want to get up to hunt before I went to bed. I figured she would get up while I was asleep like she always has. I plan on getting her to at experienced vet ASAP. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be or have any advice?? My fiancé is very experienced with frogs; he has had various frogs his whole life. These two red eyes are my first frogs.
I will include pictures of the enclosure she is normally kept in & the frog below

Only the day we brought her home and earlier today to show my very curious niece &
nephew. Prior to handling her we wash our hands twice and very well with antibacterial hand
soap.

Low to medium. Kept in the corner of our kitchen. We always eat in the dining room. If we
are in the kitchen for an extended period of time we cover the enclosure and lighting with a
blanket
