For actual "Red Leg Syndrome" look up "bacterial dermatosepticemia".

"Red leg syndrome has been attributed to the bacterium
Aeromonas hydrophila without appropriate
diagnostic investigation. Clinical signs of red leg syndrome
may be caused by other infectious agents including,
but not limited to, ranaviruses (e.g., tadpole
edema virus, frog virus-3), other bacteria (T able
13.1), Chlamydia psittaci (Newcomer et ai., 1982),
and Basidiobolus ranarum (Taylor et ai., 1995). Additionally
there are noninfectious causes of ventral
erythema that are usually transient, such as may be
caused by contact with a heated substrate, chemical
irritation or the stress of being handled."

Thank you for this information, but I already have read this. All illnesses in frogs are "cured" with either Baytril or Panacur. Both of which I can treat with myself, but I prefer natural treatments on my animals.
