We've enjoyed a healthy collection of paddletails but all of a sudden, one died and now his comrade is not looking so hot. We haven't changed the environment at all so I'm lost as to what could have caused this epidemic of sickness/death!
So sad! One is still hanging on but looks not well and I don't know what to do for him! Anyone have any experience with sick newts? Please help! :confused:

    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.
