Hello peaple,
Just thought you may be interested, just spent christmas up my uncles and he has three ponds which recently seemed to have died for an unknown reason, (maybe somthing to do with the surrounding farms). But to my suprise I went out there in the night with a torch and found huge amounts of Palmate newts and advanced juvs, which looked like they were going to leave the water soon, I just couldnt believe they were this early anyone else found any in there ponds yet.

    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.
