Axolotl Medication Resource & Guide

[Zofran5]

While researching medications I stumbled across this resource published by Kentucky University. It contains signs of illness, a refrigeration guide, and most importantly a medication guide. The author covers safe and unsafe medications, and discusses how doses listed on medication packages are often well below the recommended dose for amphibians. It includes a table with adjusted dosages for axolotls. According to this, I've been giving my guy a tenth of the recommended axolotl dose for the antibiotic I'm currently using.

Hope this helps!

Yes, it can bring some help,

but ...

- don't forget it was written by someone working in a particular context (many animals raised in rather artificial conditions),
- the last paragraph should be read first,
- I bet one of the photos featuring a healthy axolotl would be seen as a very stressed one with its very curld forward gills.
