Hello all, I've been needing some help with my smallest N. kaiseri. He has what appears to be a small gray blotch on his side. It does not look like fungus, but it also does not look like the natural white spots that this species gets as it matures. He also has his tail bent slightly to the right. Does anyone know if these have any consequence on the animal's quality of life? And if this gray spot is a bad sign, what is the treatment? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: The tail has always been bent to the right ever since I got the animal. This did not happen under my care. I believe this may be a birth defect.
 
Does it act normally? How long ago do you notice the spot. I saw someone post about something like this the other day I’ll try to find it.

    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.
