I feel like a horrible person, I was cleaning my baby 'lotls tubs and moving them from one tub to another and somehow, I put the net down right on top of one of my babies. I try to always look and know where they are so this doesn't happen. I don't know if he swam under the net as I was putting it down or if I miscounted somehow, but he ended up having his tail cut right in front of where you can see what I'm guessing is the poop hole (about in half). :cry: He actually had the tail part hanging off of him, but it was only by some skin so I cut it off as he was trying to swim, but unable to move with it hanging there. Maybe that was wrong, I don't know. :confused:

I know axolotls can regenerate, but I was wondering what I could do to give him the best chance to make it? I was thinking fridge and India Almond Leaves and/or tea bath? Has anyone else has had a baby with injuries who made it? Or would it be better to put him down? Right now, he is in a tub by himself with just a little water so he can move around easier. I have an India almond leaf in hot water waiting for it to cool and was going to add that as I don't have tea at the moment but will pick some up later.
 
Can you please post some pictures. Is he eating?
