    Hello, as Jason said its very common for them to be abit pink on the back legs and belly but that does look abit more of a red then pink. And the sore on the foot is abit concerning if it just developed on its own and its not injury. But besides the heat as Jason mentioned you are doing every thing you should if you think its redleg. You want him to be quarantined from all others on paper towels and keep the furnishings to bare minimum. Put may be plant for some cover and a hide with bowl and that's it. You need to clean and disinfect all furnishings and change water and paper towel everyday. Keep putting the Neosporin on but make sure theres no pain reliever meds in it because that will kill your frog. My advice would be if you really think it could be redleg bring them to a vet asap because it sounds like its just comeing on and once its in the advance stages even with vet help the frog doesn't usually make it. Im not saying myself for sure that it is redleg but if this is the case you will want to get some antibiotics, this is one of those things that the little home remedies don't usually cure but just makes the progression longer in my opinion. So keep doing what your doing, try to get your temps up like Jason mentioned and if you think redleg is more likely the case make that vet appointment as soon as you can before he gets to the no eating and lethargy stage.

    HOLY CRAB I WAS USING ONE WITH PAIN RELIEVER.. NO WONDER CROQUETA'S LEGS LOOKED A BIT SWOLLEN! What do I do? I had no idea this could cause a problem maybe should I give them a running water bath?? Ive handled them too much today though.. I'm ordering a different Neosporin asap and making an appointment with the vet..
