Photo: A tumor or a stone?

[jmknapp21]

We just x-rayed our female to make sure she had excreted all her stones, and this is what we saw. It looks more like a growth than a stone to me. Her behavior is totally normal, and she's eating and pooing like a champ.

Thoughts?

That does look odd. What did the vet think?

Great news! We took more x-rays using dental film which allows for better resolution in axies and more detail. We did that on Friday, I think, and it showed 3 stones. Over the weekend, she got out....3 stones! We just did another full body xray this morning, and she's stone free!

We are keeping her in the fridge today so we can do a water change this morning. We'll warm her up over night, and put her back in her home tomorrow morning. We're so excited!

Are you taking the gravel out of the tank too?

 

[jmknapp21]

We don't have any gravel -- we got these two axolotls from a co-worker who had them on gravel and was feeding them turtle pellets.

Our axies are on a bare bottom tank eating earthworms.
