Swollen parotoid gland

Thanks, Ed. It's looking better and better..I'm consulting with the vet now on when to discontinue the antibiotic treatment.

It's recovered and now off medication

Here's a pic taken by my vet of the extracted liquid, showing blood cells but no bacteria (if I'm not mistaken...):

Tim, how about turning this into an article for the magazine too ;). It's fantastic.
 
Well, I do like the idea. I wish I'd researched/documented this case better from the onset of illness though. But I think an article would need medical analysis from somebody like Ed to pan out. It'd be great if the magazine could have a regular section on medical treatment! Those articles could also become part of the Caudate Culture website

Hi Tim,
I can review it for you to see if it works even though I am not a vet and wouldn't want to double guess a medical treatment. Just let me know what kind of help you would like...

    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.
