I bought an Albino African Clawed Frog, who is named Claude, just shy of five months ago. And he (she?) was doing well up until a few weeks ago when it started exhibiting concerning signs. Firstly, he had some red sores pop up on his left foot and a particularly nasty looking one on his head, right behind his eyes. I wasn't sure what it was - I tried using some fungal medication, and it had no effect (only thing it accomplished was dying the water a fluorescent green). But the other day I decided to put some aquarium salt in the tank, and it actually seemed to work to an extent (the sores weren't as red, and the one on his head actually seemed to go down). Unfortunately this is not the only problem my poor frog is experiencing right now.

I noticed several days ago that Claude wasn't eating anything. I have tried several times to get him to eat, but he simply won't do it. Now he is staying at the top of the tank much more than is normal. He is still able to keep himself at the bottom of the tank, but I noticed that he is floatier than usual. But about three days ago, I witnessed the most disturbing display from the poor ol thing - he was at the bottom of the tank, and he started spasming and he regurgitated this green looking gunk (which the fish made quick work of), but afterwards he didn't act any different and he hasn't done it since. From what I've read, I'm thinking he may be constipated and simply can't pass any waste. I wanted to post here to get some second opinions and advice on what I should do. If you all need pictures, just ask and I'll take some. That frog has given me so much grief and I don't want him to die. Please help if you can. Thank you.
I think some pictures would help here but I have a few questions.

1. What size aquarium is this frog kept in?
2. What type of filtration is being used?
3. How often are water changes being performed and how much water volume is replaced at a time?
4. What type of water conditioner are you using?
5. What does the diet consist of for this frog?
6. What temperature is this frog kept at?
7. Do you have a water test kit? Do you know the pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate levels of your aquarium?

This sounds like some kind of bacterial infection, it could be reg leg, which is often fatal.

Epsom salt baths can help with constipation. You just need a tupperware container or a small spare aquarium if you have one. Add a gallon of dechlorinated tap water and half a teaspoon of epsom salts (make sure it's not scented or anything). Let the frog soak for one hour and and then return him to the aquarium. Do make sure the water is as close to the aquarium water as possible, because sudden swings in temperature can damage a frog.
