Thanks for reaching out about your salamander. The water temperature for the bath should match the habitat water temperature as changed in temperature are very stressful. Bacterial and fungal treatments are different so a diagnosis will help. As for food, you will have to contact the vendor directly. It is very difficult to syringe feed salamanders. You should consider a veterinary visit as this sounds serious. Good luck.
