Hello, I previously posted a thread about my axolotl ripping a chunk out of her tail fin and scraping her leg.
The next day her leg was swollen and looked a lot worse than just a scrape. I separated her from her tank mate and put her in a tub. Since I didn't know if she had a fungus, I did one salt bath each day for over a week and she kept improving. Her swollen leg went almost back to normal to where it looked like a scrape again. Her appetite improved, so I stopped her salt baths and moved her to her old tank. (Also Onyx, her tank mate, didn't want to eat a few days after I separated them so I put her back with him once she looked well)
Two days later, here we are and her leg looks terrible! Its way worse than it was the day after she scraped it. ): she also is not wanting to eat. Shell act like she's going to and then just spit it out. She did that when she first got injured but once she was healing up, she began to eat well again. I got a new phone recently so I managed to get a couple of detailed pictures. I went ahead and did a salt bath since it helped last time. I was going to start tea baths yesterday but never got to buy any tea. Now this is happening so I'm not sure whether I should do salt baths first for a few days or tea baths until its better?
Any help is greatly appreciated!! Here are two pictures.
