One of my axolotls has been refusing his food for the last two days, and upon closer inspection I found that one of his back legs is severely injured - the only reason I can think of is that the other axolotl must have bitten him. I can't see any fungus on the wound, so it seems like I've gotten to it before it got the chance to develop. He's in the fridge now, and I'll be giving him a salt bath tomorrow. What should I do after that? I'm wondering mainly about the big bit of tissue hanging out of the wound - do you think it'll drop off of its own accord, or will I have to do something about it?
Other than the fact that he won't eat anything, he's been surprisingly calm considering half of his leg is hanging out. He's always been the more timid of the two axies - perhaps it might be best to put a partition in the tank after this?
