Illness/Sickness: How do I tell if lottie has eaten a stone?

Hi,

I've had a black spotted axolotl (imaginatively named Axy) for a few weeks now and she seems fine, but I've just gotten an albino (Lottie) to keep her company but it seems that she's come home with two extra companions in her belly... She was being keep in a tank with blue gravel, which seemed a little small for them, and now when I'm looking at her it looks like shes got two blue lumps in her belly. She also does not seem to be as active as Axy, but I was thinking that would just be due to her changing tanks a lot (transparently they only got her in yesterday).

How do I tell if these are actually stones, or just internal organs that I haven't been able to see on Axy due to her colouring?

I've also uploaded a picture (best I could get) of the suspicious blue 'lump' as well as some of the rocks from the pet store that got captured in the bag when they caught her. There also seems to be a smaller blue 'lump' on the her other side but I didn't want to move her round too much to try to get a photo of it.

Its hard to tell, my white axolotl hs that colouration too, and he is stone free. It could be her organs, but keep an eye on her. If you notice her acting strangley or not eating for long periods of time, it could be gravel.

Definitely is stones, after many hours of reading post after post on here between calls at work I decided to fridge her. Her girl has coughed up one small on, but there is still one in there, you can hold you still and feel it and move it and it's quite distended the pet store has offered to take her back, but I dunno. I'm losing confidence in them and when I got my other baby she only had 5 gills! the sixth one has half grown back now (earning her the nickname stumpy) and she's clearly loving the new tank. Just worried about Lottie as she's still not looking great

Albinos, particularly small ones, are quite transparant and you can see the internal organs, they appear blue/black so you may have nothing to worry about as far as an impaction goes. Your albino has been moved from tank to tank so she may have become a bit stressed, give her a couple of days to settle in and start feeding, if she refuses to eat for a week and shows a deteriorating body condition you may want to consider fridging her for an impaction, though it may pass any remaining stones on its own. The albinos lack of activity may just be part of its character , some axolotls are constantly swimming about and others just chill in the tank doing very little.

thats amazing! Leave her in the fridge some more and hopefully she passes the other one! I;m sorry you got her this way, however i do not think you should give her back. She will be in very poor conditions again, it would be best for the animal to stay with you. Believe me the pet store isn't going to change
