Default dying frog:(

Hello,
Just got 2 new ADF's. Unfortunately one is dying I have to bring it to the pet store for refund reasons with a water sample. (I barely knew it was alive except that when I wiggle the heck out of the cup I put it in, it will move ever so slightly- so I think it is beyond saving.)

However I am wondering if it could have been contagious with something? It was lethargic, didn't eat, hid under a rock, and now the eyes are completely glazed (why I thought for sure it was dead), and the skin is reddish, like blood under it.

I just did a water change this weekend in my established tank, so I am assuming my conditions are ok for ammo, nitrite, nitrate, and pH. I don't test the other stuff. temp 78.

The pet store is testing for stuff like high ammonia and basic water conditions, right? I am stranded without a car, unless my husband's is driveable, so I am just trying to guess what is going on with the frog myself. Low stress frog situation, since I am not attached and it looks hopeless.

Thanks for any pondering you join me in
