Large growths PLEASE HELP :o(

[megish]

I have 2 axolotyls that share a tank (for over 2 years).A few months ago a huge bump appeared on one's side (looks like a tumor thing as if she's swallowed a large rock). That has grown and stayed around the size of a largish marble. She stops eating every now and then and stopped again the other day. She now has several little lumps growing under her hind leg too that appeared overnight and cant put her leg down because of the lumps.. So one side she sinks coz of the large lump & the side can't hit the ground coz of the new lumps elevating her leg
Can someone pls help with any info? I'm worried she's on her way out..

Um, what do you want us to do? You know they are tumors and you see that they are spreading.. there aren't any topical ointments that will make cancer/tumors go away.

You aren't describing warts although I suppose they could be.

You need to take her to a vet. They could be benign tumors. If they can surgically repair a defective swim bladder on a large koi & surgically pin a hamsters broken leg, I don't see why a vet can't remove some tumors from an amphibian. She sounds large enough for them to work on semi comfortably.

Good luck and let us know how this turns out.

omg ya know that about the hamster...where do you live? cos my hamster was in the newspaper in the wigan reporter or somethin for being the first hamster to have his leg surgically pinned cos i got a cage from pets at home and it was dodgy and he broke his leg on it and then they paid for his vets bills and then some german sky channel wanted the hamster on tv for some show lol but my mum said no.

anyways... lol

how do vets deal with aquatic animals? like do an operation in water?
