Hi guys, got a bit of a problem here.
My axolotl got a fright and managed to gain enough velocity to launch himself through the only hole in the tank lid where the filter tubes go. He fell quite a distance and crawled through all sorts of dust and debris before my boyfriend managed to find him.
He was out the water for about a minute, and my bf rinsed him off in a tub of water before returning him to the tank. I'm unfortunately visiting family 3 hours away, and have only seen these attached photos. His tail is cut up pretty bad, and there is this weird darkish brown extrusion on his upper flank.
I can't tell from the pictures what it is, and am really worried that it could be internal organs. What do you all think? Really worried as I can't inspect him myself. I've told my bf to let him settle before trying to get more pictures.
