I recently purchased 2 ADFs from my local store. I had them for a week and then left town for 4 days, when i returned i noticed one of the ADFs had a white spot on him inbetween the head and the arm, on what i suppose would be the neck.

My question is whether this is a fungus, I didnt notice it before when i purchased the frogs, or is this a natural marking. I wish i had a camera to post the picture up online for viewing. Any insight is always appreciated, don't know whether to start treatment or not.

Thanks
 
Hard to say without a photo. Is the spot fuzzy? Is it just one spot? I don't have ADFs but I do have 2 ACFs and they sometimes get white spots that resemble very tiny pimples. I don't take any action because they do not spread or bother them. I actually think it is part of their coloring.

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    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.
