Hello my name is Megan,
Ive had my axie for 4-5 years. I live in Australia and last month we had a shocking heat wave. My Axie Axle developed a red mark on his face. Stupidly I left it for sometime before going to the vet becauseI thought he hit his nose on something.
He developed 2 more red marks on his body. I took him from vet to vet trying to get help. Finally finding one 1/2 an hour away that specialises in exotic animals. My vet said it is septicemia
Axle has been on antibiotic injections (fortum every 3 days) for about 3 weeks now with no improvement.
The vet suggested surgery to cut the infected areas out. Since then he has improved greatly but now I can see redness coming though on his nose again.
I dont have water parameters. I have included photos. They start with pics of him sick, after the op, and now.
I have the water under 17'c using ice bricks and frozen bottles. I bought Melafix, but havent started using it.
I have spent over $500 in the last 3 weeks on Axle, I love him dearly.
Is it time for a fridge visit? Any advice would be fantastic
