Sore on salamander

[wtkrawulski]

I have had my salamander for two years. Barely see him, even during the night. Saw a sore on his body last night, found him still out in the open in his cage this noon. There is white bubbly type stuff, coming from the sore/open wound. I think this may be the end for him. For all I knew, it's his internal organs coming out of the wound. Any ideas if that's what it is?

Can you tell us a little more about how you have been keeping him as well .

I don't know if you'll be able to zoom in on the second photo to see what I'm talking about. I'm at work right now, so I can't take any new ones of what I saw this morning

I have been keeping him in an aquarium. Has dirt, moss, sticks, etc. I spray it down everyday to keep him happy. And, I toss the crickets I get from the store in the cage. Only reason, I know he's still alive, is that they disappear. Yesterday, was the first night I saw him in over a month. Today, I put him in a container to separate him from the cage, to see if he's still alive, when I get home. I put saturated I paper towels inside like one post said to

Just got home. It was definitely the beginning of his organs coming out. George is dead :'( Lucky I had him for almost two years this October. Found him as a child in my driveway one rainy night

Sorry to hear that he died.

I'm very sorry to hear about the death. It seems there was really very little if anything you could have done to treat such an injury. It looks as though it was in good condition prior to the wound, so maybe you can take comfort in the fact that you provided for it well.
