Air bubble..help

[Gucci217x]

I received a new lotl through ups and he or she arrived with an air bubble this past Friday. Never experienced this with any of my axolotls.....what do I do?

Looks like bloating, I'd recommend taking he/she to a specialized vet, as that is the best course of action.

trying to get into this week. Not a lot of vets in my area that see axolotls. The breeder told me to encourage him/her to eat and keep the water nice and cold. It's been a week since he/she was delivered and the bubble doesn't look any better.

You need a vet ASAP. This bubble may be under the skin.. air bubbles don’t usually last this long & usually aren’t visible like that. Go to arav.org and you can find the nearest specialist. Good luck!

Agree with a vet.

What are you feeding?
