    Wait maybe not!
    I may have given you bad info if this sounds like your situation....
    Water Edema Syndrome
    The frog will start to swell up because of water retention. In very extreme cases, the frog may feel like a squishy water bag. A damaged lymph heart and kidney disease are common causes of water edema, and to date, there is no information as to prevention for the disorder. You can limit the amount of water that is available, or a vet can release retained water via small incisions at swell sites; but, this can be tedious, and you'll find the end result will be the same.

    That is not correct. water edema is direct symptom of kindey failure, its irreversible, the cause in most cases keeping a frog in low temps for prolonged time. Doesn't sound it applicable to the situation on hand
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
