Joan- the libraries here are cruddy,
Edward- i can guarantee that there arent any vets that know how to treat an axolotl on the Island... axies are not very common. i probably know better about axols than them!! (seriously)
Joao- maybe I will try the Flagyl,
the person at the pet store said that external parasites cant handle changes in salinity too well, she recommended a salt bath since nothing in thier store was safe for axolotls;
if you sit and talk with pet store people theyre really not as stupid as I thought they were, even if they have no idea how to take care of an axie... dumb butts
