Just got back from another vet visit (different vet) for my newt, Paul. One thing both vets seemed to agree on was the use of a UV light source, which I ordered and will pick up tomorrow. Until now, I had been using a regular fluorescent bulb and thought that was adequate.
This vet did prescribe some meds, a baytril oral suspension (1 drop in 10 mls of water) along with a calcium supplement (0.5 ml). Paul is supposed to bathe in it for 2 hrs twice a day. Has anyone used baytril or calcium/vitamin supplements (or has a UV light)?
It seems like there so little that can be done since newts are so small (the first vet did take a x-ray and didn't see anything odd, although it wasn't a close-up x-ray).
Wish me (and Paul) luck!!
