Hi

I have a 4 month axolotl and since Thursday I noticed this buldge from his cloaca. I was advised that it may be a prolapse or could be from impactation. I've had it for a month however for the first week I stupidly had him on sand but since 3 weeks ago I've had him tubbed. So I was given good advice to try feeding him some salmon however it's not really helped and looks like it may have gotten worse? Really need some advice ASAP please I've attached pictures from a few days ago when I first seen it until today

I can’t tell what it is, but I would take him to an aquatic vet ASAP
