    May be redleg, I can't tell but skin infections are pretty serious. the best thing would be to disinfect what the frog's touched, and monitor your other frogs. The vet may be the best bet since skin problems in frogs esp. redleg are serious and can kill quickly.
    (There may be home treatments for redleg, I don't know what they are.)

    Odds are this is a substantial bacterial infection. The best course of action is to bring this frog to a vet ASAP. In the mean time isolate it preferably in another room in a quarantine tank. Wash your hands any time you do any feedings or maintenance and eliminate anything that could come into contact with other frogs in your collection. Most likely broad spectrum antibiotics are needed since many anuran infections present with similar symptoms. Make no mistake you have a very sick frog on your hands. Good luck. Also, who was the vendor you purchased them from?

    Poor little guy! To echo everyone else, the symptoms are making me think it's septicemia aka bacterial infection. Try your best to get into a herp vet soon.

    For now, try to keep his wounds from getting infected. Dab Neosporin without painkillers on the bleeding spots. If you don't have that and have simple eye contact solution, you can also use that to keep the wounds clean since it's essentially a saline solution.

    Best of luck to you!
