Mangled Leg

[heather]

I just came back from a two night camping thing, and what better welcome home present could my axies give their Momma...one mangled leg coming right up.(the white stuff isnt a fungus, yes Im sure, its just a flap of skin, ouch)Poor girl is in a mild salt bath solution in the fridge right now, she didnt want to eat before I put her in there, eating wouldnt be the first thing on my mind if my leg looked like that either...

anything extra I can do to help her heal faster?

Just give it some time and make sure it doesn't get infected. You should probably keep it in cooler water, that way theres a less chance of bacteria growing. BTW do you still live in Hawaii? Whered you get your axolotls?

 

[heather]

Yeah, the fridge should be pretty cold...
and yeah, I still live in Hawaii, Im over on Maui though...i applied for a permit to ship axos in a few years back i ended up with a male and a female...they must've liked eachother cuz now i have six of their kids, all wilds and leucies, my golden i found at a pet store here...she was in pretty bad shape, so were the others. i havent seen any in the pet stores over here since then, except for the ones i sell them.
btw when did you get the spotted sallie in ur pic- i saw one in the pet store at alamoana back in july

I got it in july. That same salamander is still at Alamoana. I got mines at Kahala pets discount. They treat animals better there.
