Read this whole thing for the answer:

They can. My second fire-bellied toad got cuts on both of his legs, and was bleeding for up to 4 to 5 hours. His body began to grow very weak when I got up. I put him back in his tank at 4:00 AM and got up a few hours afterwards. When I got up, he was extremely weak and lethargic, and could not move anything except his eyes and mouth; he never moved from the spot I placed him at at that 4:00 time. I was crying my eyes out for a long time. About at 10:00 AM, he passed away. I have never gotten over it. There are many causes it could have been (like scratching himself on the log), but he was on a tissue, and I might have been squeezing his feet too much when I was handling him (I handled and played with him for up to an hour or two). So my word of advice, never do that. I know now I will never do that again, but he also was not eating his crickets for a few days, so it may have not been the full cause of death of bleeding. It could also be thinning from starvation (he was very thin at the death day), but he was just fine the night before the incident and when I was playing with him. So I will also say that if your frog is bleeding, I'd say there is a very good chance it would die. Of course, frogs are small, and so only have so much blood in their body. I could not do anything for it. It just layed there and died on its own. And by the way, when it died, its eyes were still open, but would not blink (at least on their own)
