Hi, just recently I noticed that my axolotl hasn't been eating as much, and he has been pooping out white strands. Just today a lump appeared on his backside.


His water temperature is average, and I typically feed him around 2-3 sinking carnivore pellets every day, and earthworms about every week.


I attached pictures of the lump; sorry for bad quality.
Can anyone help, and what can I do to treat it? Thanks

    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.
