The first photo and account.
Photos of Sick Axolotls
And a quick search for "floating butt" on the forums will give you countless threads of people with the same problem.
The axolotl is trying to pass something through his system. Fridge him if it's so severe that he can't swim down. Probably just having a hard time taking a dump.

Is it a floating rear, or is your axolotl just floating at the surface, just to float near the surface? Many axolotls like to hang out near the surface as the water has more oxygen there.
