My Giles hurt herself :(

[RupertxGiles]

Not sure how this happened ! We have some caves in the tank but nothing sharp or pointy. Al the decor has been in there for a while then i noticed a gash on her mouth i feel awful. Should i leave it be or should i be treating it in some way ? Ive been lucky enough to never have experienced an injury in the 3 years we have owned axotls and i want Giles to be ok . She is eating fine and acting normal.

You would be suprised how an axolotl could hurt itself. Axolotls are very good healers if they have good living environment. I would leave it and it should heal on its own and keep an eye out for fungus.

mine had the same thing happen, I had to remove and smooth the edges of some rocks I had in the tank
mine would try to squeeze between it and the glass and would go head first, wound up with a small scratch on the chin like yours and another small one on its side
Ive moved the rock and chipped away and smoothed off the edges now
might want to check for anything with a sharp edge on it
