I've got a White's Tree Frog with a swollen leg

Hey guys. I'm in charge of the reptiles at my pet store, and I was cleaning and feeding the White's Tree Frogs and noticed that one of them wasn't eating (which is weird for these pigs). Took it out and saw that one of its hind limbs is swollen. It's not HUGE but its "thigh" part is nearly double the size of the thigh of the other leg, and the swelling continues down to its toes on that one limb. Anyone have any idea on what that could be, or what I could use on an amphibian to help? She was just sitting in her water dish, which isn't that unusual for that particular frog. I've been told letting her sit in charcoal water helps with stuff but... We really do love the animals at our shop and don't want to accidentally make matters worst! Thanks, frog people
 
No one's replied yet, but here's some pics... Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :( So I looked closer today and she does have little sores. One right above her swollen leg, and one smaller one on her other leg. I gave her a sulfur dip today.

Here's the smaller one on the NONswollen leg.

Here you can see the swollen leg on the left:

Please help me save her... She's so cute!

Have you tried doing a google search for some more info? At least it's something to try while waiting to see if anyone can help. Those red lines don't look good. :(
 
I saw red leg disease but I don't think that's it. The red on her legs is just some of the veins popping up since the limb is swollen, and it seems to be because of that sore right above her leg... But I do know about Red Leg, yes, and I'll be watching it closely, thank you for your help...
