Bloated fire bellied toad

I've had my fire bellies for almost 10 yrs. They've been happy mating frogs for most of that time (this year's tadpole brood has come and gone). They have an entirely aquatic habitat with about 3-5 gal of water about that many inches deep, filter, heater when needed, and lots of places to rest. However, one of my females recently developed cloudy bubbles on her eyes, which then turned bloody. I quarantined her and have been treating the water with "Turtle Fix" for bacterial infections (says it works for frogs too), changing the water about every other day. Her eyes are a little better, but now her body and throat are extremely bloated. I've had her quarantined for a few weeks now but the bloating isn't going down. She's been very lethargic and seems to mostly stay out of the water. She was pooping what looked like tiny green algae balls but hasn't in a few days, and hasn't eaten since the quarantine. There are no veterinarians in my area who deal with amphibians. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I could do to treat her?

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
