Olive our one & half year old wild type axi had eggs, a huge clump of which were very stuck & I had to help her release them which I did very gently.. A couple of days later she got droopy gills and regurgitated food which she had eaten a couple of days previous. So I put her in the fridge, followed all the guidelines, dechlorinated water, dark tea towel & right temperature, 100% changes daily etc.
She has been in there for about three weeks now, and has developed fungus on her tail. She has mucus and what looks like poo stuck in her opening.. There are always bit of mucus floating round in her container. Today a huge clump of mucus came out of her and we noticed under her body has gotten very red from her abdomen down to one of her legs. This leg is extremely swollen compared to her others and even her toes look plump.
I do know that axolotls generally absorb any eggs that are left in the womb but is there a chance these eggs are stuck in some sort of birth canal and aren't in the correct position to be reabsorbed? The swollen leg and redness surely indicate something serious Shes also extremely lethargic, I have another leucistic in the fridge who is very active compared to olive, you can do anything with olive and she hardly moves. Her mouth seems to be stuck partly open also.
I'm on iPad ATM but will upload pics off my laptop soon as they're uploaded..
If you can, please help us.. She a beautiful axolotl with a lot of character
Thank you
