I have three axolotls that have lived together for 2 years. I have their tank on a chiller. I just notice the chiller malfunctioned and froze itself to the floor of the aquarium. i also noticed two of the axies have similar marks on their sides. A white and a natural colored axie each has a very white spot on their side. The white one's spot is larger(like two coins side by side). I think they rested up against the frozen chiller. Beyond the white patch it seems swollen. It seems like a frostbite injury...the patch has hard cells unlike their normal body texture and the swelling seems like that that would occur with frostbite. If I have diagnosed this correctly...can they recover and what is the best means of recovery? Is my greatest threat possible infection?
I will find out tomorrow if they are still eating. They are really are not acting that abnormal. They are hanging out a bit higher than normal...but not floating.
Please advise. There are not vets in this area that would have a clue. My only other option is to call the University of Kentucky.
Thanks!
