I'm gonna keep this quick and simple! I went to the vet today, and was told I need to give my Axolotl salt baths daily. She specified that standard salt, like my iodized table salt, is what I need to use. Upon looking up tutorials on how to do it, EVERYWHERE is telling me to avoid iodized salt at all costs. I called the vet back to ask why this is, but the doctor that helped me today had gone home. I spoke to two nurses on the phone who told me to do what the vet instructed and not "just some things you read online". But EVERYWHERE is telling me to avoid the salt my vet recommended. Did she make a mistake?
I have been preparing the salt bath for my Axolotl. I decided to trust the hundreds online about using non iodized, but my only non iodized is Himalayan pink salt. It has absolutely no additives, it is only naturally occurring Himalayan pink salt. Is this okay to use?
Also I'm fridging her as well, which I have never done. She is in a bucket from when I took her to the vet right now. Can I just put her in the fridge in that? It's filled with water from her tank, and I will do a water change later with water at the same temperature. I just want to check if putting her in there with tank water for a few hours before the salt bath is fine.
What I was planning on doing was putting her in the fridge, let her get used to that temperature, and then do the salt bath. While she was in there I was going to do a water change on her other container for when I transfer her back. Is this what I do? The vet gave me no clear instructions on this.
