Ed Kowalksi or Anyone HELP!

Help. As some one said,I think my newt has bloat. I have had it for three years. It has been this way about 9 days. It is still quite active and can still swim but is even bigger than when I first reported. I have separated him out but should I put him out of his misery? HELP!!

I would strongly suggest starting the soaking in hypertonic ringers solution or a salt solution as described by Dr. Chernoff on the caudate culture site until you can get to a vet to rule out red leg or other infections.

I have bad news...my newt passed on. It makes me realize that I need to keep on top of my tanks to be sure they are clean and have good water levels...my questions now is...does newts like their water neutral, alkaline, high PH, low PH? I never tested their water before...I figured they would do fine in normal water...guess I was wrong. I always tested my fish tanks but not my newt tanks. Any suggestions or websites I can try. It must be listed somewhere on this website...but where?
