Hi I have a few babies I have raised from eggs however two have caught red leg.

They are rubbed with daily water changes using prime

What can cause this ?


I have been to the vet and have baytril oral 10% however when I gave it to my sxolotl I think it stressed him out that much he passed away he was not moving for 5mins upside down I took him out onto my hand and didn't move I have his wee belly a few pushes and he came back to life and started walking about.

My question is what's caused this why only 2 of 3 who are kept in same conditions

The two that's caught it are very small compared to the other.

How likely are they to survive ?

I'm now going to put the antibiotic into their tub for 8hrs a day how likely will this 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.
