I have a chinese fire-belly newt. Today I cleaned his tank and he has an open sore on his tail. It is a little bit bigger than the size of his eye. His tail appears healthy until half way down and there is the sore. I am going to go to the pet store and see if I can find any antibiotic tablets. Does anyone have any other suggestions on what I can do to help my little guy out? Thanks.

What does "I cleaned his cage" consist of?Also what temp is the enclosure and what animals share it with him?

when I said cage I meant tank. I empty the majority of the dirty water and add fresh non-clorinated water. The tank is always between 60 and 70 degrees. I have a picture of his sore, I just can't figure out how to post it.
