Hi
I am writting as a last chance to save my sick axolotl if he is not better or improving by Saturday I am going to take him to the vets to put him to sleep.
My Axolotl "Sam" is very, very swollen. He is 18 months old, he lives with my others axolotl in the same tank.
about four months ago, he stopped eating and became swollen,I took him to the vets who said she thought it was a parasite and sent tests of to the laboratory. She treated him with a diuretic, Panacur for worms and Flagyl for parasites; she also took fluid from him. One week later he was back eating and very active, after three/ four weeks he stopped eating again and I took him back to the vets, she gave him a scan, more Panicure and flagyl. He seemed better after a few days and ate a couple of meals, then stopped eating and gradually became more and more swollen, Last week I took about 20 ml of the fluid out of him with a syringe and gave him some diuretic and prednisolone, today I repeated the procedure, unfortunately I am not seeing much sigh of improvement .
Has any one out there any idea what the trouble might be ???
I know it is not the water because I have read all readable litrature on the subject also because my othere axolotl "Millie" is fine.
Can any one out there help???
