Fire Belly Newt swollen

[angie]

Help....My fire belly newt has been like this for a about 7 days...sorry the pictures are blurry. Please let me know if this could be eggs, bloat, kidney damage, etc. I have had this newt for 3 years with no problem. I think this is a male because of the bluge under the tail that would indicate testicles. What could be wrong?

It is certainly bloat. I'm afraid I can't help you much. See:
