Making a "Amphibian First Aid Kit"...

[Niels D]

It's a lesion and he took a blood sample. I was told that it was red leg, but as you allready could have guessed I'm no vetenarian myself. The only thing I had to do is make a proper dose for a baytril bath. You obviously have more knowlidge about these things, so I hope I've anwered your answers properly.

The Dutch word for red leg is the exact translation of the English words btw.

Alright, another question. Indian almond leaves: Whole leaves or extract? What works better?

What about Bactine? It has been recommended in a few articles I have read on treating newts. I just wondered if any one has used it successfully and if it shouldn't be used why not?

Niels, is he just wet in the second picture, or does he have 'the shine'?

Now I'm worried... What is 'the shine?' One of my spring peepers has shiny skin that looks similar to the second picture...
