Hi friends! I've been a silent observer of this site for a long time but need your help now. I have two axolotls (~5 years) with no history of any problems, no fighting, no infections, etc. Yesterday I noticed that BOTH front arms on one of my guys look broken/dislocated. He is holding his arms at an awkward angle at his side and not moving around very much, he also had no appetite. In addition to this, the skin on both arms appears to be molting off (almost looks like a rotting is happening). Has anyone ever seen anything like this? The only thing I can imagine is that they got into a fight but it's very odd that its both of his front arms. My other axolotl is happy as a clam with no injuries or issues that I can tell. From what I've already read online, it looks like we can wait it out or amputate. Any advice would be really appreciated!
