Hi,
My friends salamander appears to have turned black. It is constantly laying in its water bowl and is very lethargic. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice please I am heading over first thing tomorrow to try and help with her.
Many thanks,
Emm
 
Some pics would be usefull. It may be having trouble shedding. Is it beign kept too dry?
 
The humidity looks ok. I saw it yesterday and it looks like a fungal problem. So have removed it from its enclosure and put it with damp kitchen roll and water. Have tried an electrolyte bath and later salt bath so will see if that helps. Unfortunately the vets in the area don't know about Salamander.

    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.
