I received the following by e-mail from someone who recently bought 6 of the WC kaiseri being offered. I know these animals were given an appropriate setup and kept in a cool basement with appropriate food - their basic care was as good as it gets. This person wrote the following to me:
"The kaiseri are dropping like flies. They came in with some disease which has been eating their skin away. I've been treating them with Furan-2 but not having much luck. I'm totally heart broken (and broke) over this. Very bad decision on my part. I should have waited until captive born were available. I so much just wanted to do right by them. I've only had them a month and I've lost three of them with at least two more probably on the way. They have lesions on their skin and there has been a fungus problem around their mouths and on their limbs. The Furan2 doesn't seem to be helping. This has happened very quickly. In the beginning they seemed o.k. except for one which had some discoloration on his back (he was the first to go). They were eating - I even saw one eat an earthworm as recently as two weeks ago. I now have them seperated and terrestrial. I don't know what else to do."
Anyone have any treatment ideas for this person? (I suspect it's too late though.)
