The last few days have been rather shitty. Found my oldest frog, Mama dead in her tank. Fortunately the other 4 were alive at least. Had to thoroughly sterilize the tank and everything that was inside it, that took over a day to do. And now just last night after all was somewhat back to normal, I noticed that my tree frog, Buddy's underbelly and legs/feet/hands were turning red. I don't know if its the dye from the fake leaves coming off onto him or if he caught red leg disease. Don't click the links if yer easily squeamish...

I'm really hoping it's just the dye and it can be flushed out of his system. If it does turn out to be red leg disease though... I don't know of any reptile or amphibian vets near me or if I can even afford to take him to one. I just can't lose another one... especially this soon.
Edit: Around 1:20pm.... Buddy passed....

OP
It was either red leg disease or chemical burns from residue left on/in the artificial leaves we had in the tank. Either way, it wasn't pretty...
