I‘be had this salamander for about a month and a half and within that time it has morphed. It’s been a couple weeks since it’s morphed but it won’t eat and now it’s losing quite a bit of weight. It has a deformity where it was born with one eye and I’m unsure of whether or not it’s an axolotl that was unhappy with my water and morphed or if it’s a tiger salamander, but I’m really worried about it and would like to know what is causing it to refuse food. I feed my salamanders earthworms and they were all raised on tong feedings. On occasion I offer other things but they seem to prefer the worms. I really hope I don‘t lose this one since I’ve already lost 6 other larvae from the stress of transport. I appreciate any and all 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.
