Hi guys, my female pachytriton seems to have developed a couple of ulcers. what treatment would you suggest? i thought about a salt bath, but what concentration would you suggest... also i suppose they would have come from rubbing against a sharp object?

thanks for your help!
 
my camera is out of action.... they look like little bumps (1mm diameter) with clear tops, the animal is eating well, so they don't appear to be affecting the rest of her...
 
William, ulcers can be caused by a bacterial infection. Two things I would do would be to do a water change, if not a complete terrarium cleaning and treat the newts with a broad spectrum anti-fungal/anti-bacterial fish medication. Super Sulfa is one I have had success with. Treat as directed by the package directions.
 
okay thanks, i did a complete water change anyway, i'll see if Super sulfa is fond in the UK.
