Swollen parotoid gland

Thanks, Ed. It's looking better and better..I'm consulting with the vet now on when to discontinue the antibiotic treatment.

It's recovered and now off medication

Here's a pic taken by my vet of the extracted liquid, showing blood cells but no bacteria (if I'm not mistaken...):

Tim, how about turning this into an article for the magazine too ;). It's fantastic.
 
Well, I do like the idea. I wish I'd researched/documented this case better from the onset of illness though. But I think an article would need medical analysis from somebody like Ed to pan out. It'd be great if the magazine could have a regular section on medical treatment! Those articles could also become part of the Caudate Culture website

Hi Tim,
I can review it for you to see if it works even though I am not a vet and wouldn't want to double guess a medical treatment. Just let me know what kind of help you would like...
Ed

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
