Hi,
Today, I just notice my Fire Salamander in his cave appear to hiccup or stroke . My salamander appear to have a stroke to the point that it look like it just laying belly down and the legs all stretch out. It look really uncomfortable and painful.

I don’t know what cause it. He was still fine yesterday. Didn’t do or change anything.

I attached video.

Please help.

    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.
