Hello, so I changed my axolotl's water yesterday, because my mom's stupid cat fell in the water on Friday when I was trying to feed her. She looks fine, she's been acting fine, till this morning at 8am. I got up to put some ice packs in to get her tank below 70 degrees, and after like 20 minutes, I heard her smack against the glass, real hard. She was swimming around, like something was in there after her, she smacked her nose and it bled a little but then she hid. I cried for an hour or so, but I left her alone, and came down stairs, she seemed fine, she swam up to meet me, I decided to give her a worm. I just tossed it into the tank, she missed a few times but she got him. Then she went to her favorite napping spot, slept. I was rotating her ice packs, she came out to greet me, and I noticed the tip of her tail is curving towards what would be her left side. Very hard to notice. I hear people saying this is a sign of a problem but how curved is too curved?
Sometimes she just idles in the water on 3 of her legs, while the one just kinda does whatever, she isn't exactly coordinated. Her water is spotless, pH is at 7, it's at like 68 degrees right now but I'm afraid to put any more of my reserve packs in because I'm afraid all this interaction is stressing her. She has no discoloration, no visible injuries other than the scrape on her face from this morning. I do not know if my mom's cat was messing with her and perhaps that freaked her out. I've been keeping a closer eye on her, I have her in the one room in my house that gets the least sunlight, our coolest room, so I can't really move her. We don't have AC so my room right now is well above 80 degrees.
I am very worried, I've been sobbing since the dumb cat fell in on Friday night. Please help. I need some reassurance before I have a stroke. Or before she dies.
