    If a frog had a problem with its urinary tract for a year bad enough for semi-solids to be coming out in the urine, I imagine there would be other noticeable symptoms.

    Bits of shed skin will often accumulate around the hind legs and near the cloaca. That's probably what you were seeing. Keep a close eye out for any other symptoms just to be safe though.

    I find the same thing, I never worried about it because I assumed it was just him shedding as its easier to shed when his skin is wet. I'm not sure though.

    Mucus in the urine can be bad. Next time it happens collect the mucus onto a paper towel that is damp and stick it in a ziploc bag. Stick the sample in the fridge until you can get it to a vet for testing. Before 24 hours passes is best.If its a very small amount and white its usually not a bad thing, but if its pinkish or red you'll need to get your frog some meds.
