Illness/Sickness: Please help find the proper remedy/medical intervention

[jonpeterson]

Good morning folks, just joined the group. Thank you for being here. I have a very sick axolotl who won't be with us much longer if I don't give the proper attention. I removed her from the tank(where water conditions were ideal) about two months ago. Very lethargic and losing her gill fibers. First four weeks in the fridge with daily salt baths (for about seven days). Took her out of the fridge four weeks ago and have her on the counter in our kitchen. Daily water changes and water temp. is about 65. The problem. She has not eaten for the past four weeks. She justs floats on the top of the water. Appears to be lifeless. When I cradle her she comes to life. She has lost a lot of body weight, is not much more than a skeleton, and her color has changed from her pinkish glow to something else. She is leucistic (sp?) If I am unable to find the proper remedy I know I will lose her (and probably soon). Please help if you are able.
