I'm going to be buying a bunch of salamanders and newts for a small business I'm starting, and I'd like to have some good medicine on hand for bacterial outbreaks and disease. Thanks!
 
I have attached an amphibian formulary which has details of medications and use.

Thanks, I know a lot of them are compatible with fish.
That's a lot of info to go through.
Can you give me the top 4 or 5 most general medicines. Something that can be ordered Easley from Amazon or eBay?
Thanks again!
 
the most common medications/compounds would be.. methyline blue, acriflavine, potasium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, sodium thiosulphate, retinol (vitamin A).
I have added vitamin A because it has been noted that it is common for terrestrial salamanders to suffer from a lack of vitamin A causing health problems such as short tongue and eye problems, this isn't helped by the current trend towards feeding eyeless food as a main diet.
due to the use of RO and distilled water essential salts and minerals should be included to the list.
also perhaps clove oil should included as a humane euthanasia.
