One of my juevenile axolotls that previously hadn't been feeding well (but now was) got out of the tank.

When put back into the water it swam a little, however now it seems as if two legs on one side are badly injured and it's gills have pointed forwards and gone more frilly. It isn't dead but hardly moving, it has a curved tail and a more red like colour due to blood vessels.

How should I treat it; I cant find any advice on treating axolotls that have escaped.
