My morphed axolotl came out of his burrow looking like this. He has been in the same enclosure for over a year and the other one with him is fine.
Currently I have him quarantined on damp paper towels. Any idea of what this is and how to treat it? I am looking for a vet, but would rather treat him before next week (it is friday).

To high of humidity can cause skin problems. I would treat in a furan 2 soak.

    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.
