Thanks Ed,



I'm afraid in this case though it's something more serious. Since my last post, the lesions on the larger newt have grown and in fact his tail has rotted off almost to the base despite every attenpt I've made to help him... He is still alive though he won't eat, and his cloaca is swollen and discharging something constantly. At this point I am considering putting him down because I can't stand to see him suffer like this. I have very little hope that he will survive.



The smaller newt is improving since I separated them and has finally begun eating chopped worms so I am hopeful think he/she will make it.
