    I remember reading about this condition somewhere before. It's an unfortunate intestinal disease in aquatic frogs. They'll get bloated and float at the top of the tank.

    AH! I found a page of their diseases. I'm thinking your frog may have the bacterial infection. http://xenopus.com/disease.htm
    They suggest some some medicine that you might be able to get at the pet store. I hope this helps!

    Thanks for the response! I was reading the link you provided and my frog seems to have symptoms of several conditions, but mostly the barrel chest and epidermal chytridiomycosis. I can't find any info on the barrel chest, so I'm not sure what the best treatment is for it. The epidermal chytridiomycosis seems to suggest using malachite green. I found a product called ParaGuard from Seachem. I think I'm going to give that a shot. She seems to be getting a lot better from the treatments for red leg, so here's hoping she keeps getting better.
