All of a sudden, one of my T. granulosa is out of the water and acting sickly, not responding to food etc. It has always been the skinnier of the two, but it ate very well, was active in the water. What could be the problem and how should I respond best?
 
Are they CB or WC?? It´s just the first thing that came to my mind, but could it possibly be parasites? Since you say it always ate well, but still was the skinnier one, maybe that can be a possible reason. An infestation or sudden bloom of the parasites could be causing the sickly behaviour...
Just a thought though...best of lucks.
 
Thanks for the reaction Rodrigo, they are WC unfortunatly. I've had them for a couple of months now... Are there any known treatments one can give against a possible bloom of parasites?

    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.
