Help...sick axolotl

[Ts:)]

Please help... I was away for a few days last week ...and it was unusually warm (weather).I normally use ice blocks to keep my lil axie cool.... but I wasn't Able to swap it in for a day or two.

He's since not been eating much. Moved him to a cooler room plus did a 15-20% water change..parameters fine
PH was 6.5.pet shop gave me some coral to increase the pH.


He will eat a pellet or two....tried live worms....ate maybe one or two. Im literally spoonfeeding him and hes still not interested.

Hes very slow....not responding as much. Still breathing andoving around but slow
Did another 10%water change yday.
Please help
Would a salt bath or a tea bath help?

what are the water parameters?
how is he at night?
get a kh gh test to check your water hardness.
use holtfreters in tank to correct salt/mineral levels, info here .. Axolotls - Requirements & Water Conditions in Captivity

Try putting a fan on top of the tank, works great. Or tub him with a fan.
