Hello, I'm from Greece. Some 2 weeks ago I went to a local pet store and they had some paddletail newts in an aquarium with fish. One of them had both his back legs bitten off by a fish and scratches on it's back. I felt sorry for it and I took it home. I put it in clean water but it stays hidden all the time and doesn't eat. Today I was able to look at it and it seems as it's starting to get infected (like fungus around the injury). What should I do? put it in wet paper towels? what treatment should I use? please someone answer me as soon as possible because I am very worried...
Thank you for any responses.
 
I took it out of the water and took some photos. I don't know if it has an infection but the legs have a yellowish color which they didn't have when I first got it.

well it seems that it was shedding and that's why it had that color. Now it's ok but I should put some kind of medication so I doesn't get infected. Sorry for the so many posts but I'm really worried

Maby stupid to say in this situation but the legs looks okay to me,iff you see fungus treat it with saltwaterbaths(ONLY THE LEGS)
Use SH2000 for in the water were they live in.And last but not least,they have to eat!!!!
Eating is meaning that the things are going better.

SH2000 is a sort off antibioticum,I use it for my fish,toads and newts.

Is this it's name or ingredient? I don't think I can find it here. You think I should put an antibiotic in the water even if there isn't any fungus?

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    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.
