Yes I'd like to know more on various meds that are safe for newts and salamaders. For skin issues parisites and cuts and scrapes.

Justin mentioned a good resource for different medications for amphibians with his links. I want to offer some cautionary advice.

Antibiotics and other medications can actually be harmful if they are used inappropriately. Please make sure that your animal actually needs the medication before administering. Oftentimes cuts, scrapes and other injuries will heal perfectly without medication as long as care is taken to maintain good quality water for the animal.
