Hello everyone,
I have two axolotls, Brian and Wendy. Three days ago, Brian decided to bite off both Wendy's back legs and most of his tail. The poor little thing's just dragging himself along on his two remaining legs, and it's awful to watch.
Wendy has been alone in the fridge for three days, daily water changes, 5 degrees. He's moving as normally as can be expected. But I have two problems.
1) His veins are showing. They're bright red in his feet and remaining tail. Is this an infection or stress? What can I do if it is an infection?
2) Bones are showing. Both legs have significant bone stumps. Do I perform an amputation or is this good for regeneration?
I've never had one of them lose a whole limb before, let alone three at once. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
