I too have a bloating salamander. I noticed that he looked larger than normal about four days ago. Then, this morning, not only did his torso look bloated but his entire face. Originally, I'd thought I'd overfed him, or something. But now I'm sure it's something more serious. After reading these posts, I decided I should bring my newt to a vet. There is only one in my area (Iowa City) that will see newts. And it's going to cost $30! That's a lot of money for me, a poor college student. Especially considering the newt cost only $7. I've had him for 2 years, so I'm kind of attached to him. It's really hard to see him so bloated, but I feel like maybe I should just let him die and buy a new newt. Any helpful suggestions? Is the vet bill worth it?</font>}
