No idea what's wrong with my little guy. I've tried feeding just about everything and he refuses to keep the weight on he looses it a few days after being fed. Need help asap
 
Hello !
Is your newt alone in the tank ?
In case of 2 or more newts, dominance problems can occur within them, especially at feeding time.

Yes 1 other but I haven't noticed any feeding agression before. I'm assuming parasites
 
If you suspect a parasitic problem, you should separate them as soon as possible

Will do. You think prazi pro would work? I've heard of it being used before for newts but I haven't had any experience de worming them.
 
Sorry, I'm not an expert with medics.
Moreover, chemicals trademarks vary a lot within different countries.
You'd better ask other american hobbyists for this info

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
