    Unhappy Help... Sick Frog... Swollen body :(

    Condition:

    Swollen body (bloated stomach, rest of the body seems fine) --> it's not Dropsy, is it?
    Doesn't move a lot
    Has never croaked before but made a kind of strange groaning sound after the swelling occurred
    Hasn't eaten or pooped recently

    She started getting fidgety over the week and only last night she started to lean on one side, the other side is kind of swollen. Today, after I came back from school, she had become completely swelled up.

    Does anyone know what the problem is? What should I do?
    Thank you for your time!

    This condition is usually caused by bacterial septicemia or organ failure. Probably the former. You won't be able to treat it yourself - you need to take it to an amphibian-savvy vet asap. Good luck.

    Thank you so much! I will try to find a vet and get help for her there as soon as I can. In the meantime, is there anything I could do for her? Are the possibilities you suggested more to the good side or the bad in all the diseases?
