    Update: My frog is doing much better! Saturday morning I put him in a temporary tank and completely cleaned his main tank. I cleaned the glass of the tank with boiling water. I soaked all the decor in a tub with boiling water and some bleach. I left him in the temporary tank to see if the irritation would go away and it did. So I knew the tank was definitely the problem.

    Sunday afternoon his rash was almost gone. So I put him back in his main tank with only paper towels and his water bowl. I will slowly put back the rest of the decor, but I want to monitor his rash to make sure it doesn't come back when a particular item is added. Sunday night I tried to feed him and he ate a cricket!

    Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately, his rash has returned and he hasn't eaten since that one cricket. Also, he pooped today and it was green, slimey, and it seemed a bit foamy. I'm taking him to the vet on Tuesday, but any advice on what to do until then?

    Sorry to hear that things aren't going well again

    the best thing to do now is quarantine the frog in a separate enclosure. It should include

    -damp paper towel as substrate
    -a water dish
    -a place to hide

    that's all for tank setup

    the enclosure and everything in it should not have been touched by the frog prior to quarantine. Make sure everything is fresh.

    Once results from the vet are back you can determine the most prudent course of action. If it's bacterial or fungal you'll have to throw away all cage decorations that can't be properly disinfected and disinfect everything. Same goes for parasitic. Wait for the vet's analysis first though, you don't want to throw away something if you don't have to. In the mean time quarantine ASAP

    Went to the vet about a week ago, and it was a bacterial infection. They gave me an ointment to treat him with and his rash is clearing up. He's also eating regularly again!

    He's still shedding a lot though. Almost everyday and I am worried because he never did that before he was sick. Any ideas on the cause of his excessive shedding?
