They dont pee. It is a defense mechanism mainly toads use. It is actually called a mock poison but it is not poisonous. When preadators pick up a toad or frog they secrete this thing called mock poison. When the predators taste this it gives them a bitter taste. It fools the hunter into thinking that the toad or frog it tried to eat was poisonous thus scaring off the predator. Toads or frogs usually do this when frigtend so if you keep picking up toads and frogs and they do this to you i suggest you stop because your scaring them.
It is a defensive tactic If a dog picks one up the pee tastes bad.

For some people it would make them drop the frog and they could get away.

Do frogs defecate and urinate?

To answer your question frogs do poop (trust me I've seen the left overs on my garage door.) but if they pee I've never seen a frog pee but i think that they do. Frogs actually do pee. The waste filtered from their blood becomes urine, which passes from the kidney to the bladder and then out of the body.
