She was bleeding before I applied chlorhexidine. I whipped off the blood and then put it on. Then, I covered the rest of the wound with silvadene cream, it looked like it stopped after it was applied but I saw a tiny bloodstain on the wet paper towel just now. I'm not sure where to go from here! Help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Placed it in a salt bath today. The skin is shedding and the wound looks different.

    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.
