I have two 2 yearsoldish leucistic Axolotls which are brothers.. Lexus and Logan.
Over the past 4 weeks or so, unbeknown to me how (as they both eat the same amount and surely share the same genetic make-up?) Lexus has bulked up, his head and body is wider and his mouth is too! He's started nipping at Logan which i initially presumed was just play fighting..but the day before yesterday i caught Lexus with Logans whole front left arm in his mouth. I pulled him off and ever since Logan's arm has been really limp and his hand is bent the wrong way. He has movement of the joint/muscle? at the top of his arm where it's attatched to the body, but it seems no other control over the arm. It's swollen and is patchy red like a rash. He's stopped eating and lies incredibly motionless in his hide, his gills have shrunk and he doesn't want to move at all. I have no idea what to do!
Amputate and let a new limb grow? Fridge? Salt bath? I don't know!
I haven't slept properly and it's hearbreaking to watch!
