Hi everyone,

My T. marmoratus has become very lethargic and her skin is darkening (not shedding) so she is clearly sick. I referred to Caudata's caudate illness treatment accounts where they recommend Furan-2 and Maroxy to treat the same issue I'm observing. Furan-2 has been discontinued, so I'm wondering if there are any reliable, affordable Nitrofurazone substitutes and where others have found them. I don't know where I can find either of these medications in time to save my newt, so some help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Matt
 
Is this the stuff???

It doesn't appear discontinued. It may just not be carried at your normal place anymore.
 
api furan 2 is discontinued although you might be able if lucky to find some in pet shops but because it is highly sought after by marine owners I doubt it.
Nitrofurazone powder may be available over the counter at pharmacies.

    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.
