Hey all. I have two 6 year old axolotls. Quetzel has never been the healthiest, but lately he's gone downhill and I dont know why.
Yesterday I noticed he was rather bloated and possibly constipated. When I moved him, he looked really red (he is a leuistic). I took him out of the tank and transferred him to a small container with cold water. It seemed to help, and he passed some feces. I changed his water again this morning and when I got home he was still bloated but seemed ok. Just now i saw him upside down. I quickly checked to make sure he was alive and he is. I don't know what to do except keep him cool. His cloaca seems really swollen too. I'm scared to lose him
