Taken from allaboutfrogs.org:
Dropsy:
Possibly caused by bacteria, but much more likely a metabolism disorder - resulting from poor climactic maintenance or improper diet. Dropsy appears as bloating and soft dermal abnormalities around the abdominal region. The treatments sound really risky, involving puncturing the wounds if they aren't near the eye region. Even the one book I was able to find that describes this illness strongly recommends seeing a specialist for treatment.

Good luck. I just found out my frog may have a fungal infection, I'm here to ask someone named Andy. ----- Amanda ^_^
