thank you. there are no bumps on the frog... just some chunks of the substrate. lol. it has also lost a lot of the weight... so im thinking it was either constipation or being gravid. i will be looking for eggs...
I hope it was just preggers. If it was bloat, which can occur for a number of reasons, it may return---if the female has become egg-bound or there isn't a place for her to soak in water, or there is no mate for her, this can cause such a condition. It can lead to death if not remedied. I'm glad to hear she's thinned out---just watch for continued weight loss, skin changes or behavior changes. If these occur, speak to a DVM.
Also, if you have exposed coco-fiber in the tank, cover it as much as possible with leaf litter or moss. Frogs have been known to ingest some with their food and become impacted in the bowels and die.
