Illness/Sickness: Red spot Help :( pictures attached

Since yesterday my axolotl shows a red inflamated spot on his back, he is eating fine, any help or idea of what type of problem is it, and what to do?

Thanks !

Have you tested the water?
What is your water change schedule?

Firstly you may need to contact a moderator of the site to get an expert to tell you what that is exactly.
Secondly I don't mean to be rude but is that gravel/small rocks in your tank?
I'm not sure if you are aware that axolotls can and will swallow anything up to the size of their own heads, it can be quiet shocking to see the x-rays of other users of this site.
Here is one id like to share just to show the importance of not having anything smaller than your axolotls head in their tank other than sand, its the only thing that will pass though them without any problems. Gravel and large rocks cause impact, blockages, stress and more that can lead to death or disease in axolotls.
So please have a look at these X-rays and remove anything smaller than your axolotls head.
As for the horrible spot, I recommend you contact one of the moderators asap to find out what that is, all the best luck - Suzi :happy:

I would get a vet to check that spot out, the area around it seems to be raised as well. Do you have any fish in the tank with your axolotl?

Hi there, I agree I think it is something a vet needs to look at. I'm not sure if you have looked but another user posted something similar to this a little while ago and although it may not be the same thing the post may be worthwhile looking at http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-be...f58-sick-axolotl/78748-large-red-growths.html
Hope things get better for your axie.

Thank you for your answers, he is better now, but spot has become white. I will post new pictures.
