Sick Fire Belly Newt

[kelvin]

here is my sick fire belly newt

the lower jaw had started to rot and its quite bad but it has stopped since. testing various med such as applying yellow powder, PP, methylene blue to wound. the lower jaw bone is broken too.

Also testing methylene blue, yellow powder in water.

There are small fluffy stuff growing on its body but it is shedding adequately to overcome that. it not those cottonly fungus but like little plantlets/mushroom growth on the body

this doesn't seem like a fire belly newt(Cynops) to me.
Anyhow, I am interested to know how to cure this sickness as well. Cause I have seem similar thing happened to a newt in petstore.

It is a warty newt (Paramesotriton). Here is a story of a similar nature:
