Possible bacterial infection.

[Loridakay]

Hi y’all I have a million questions. I currently have a 7inch axolotl who has these red dots all over his body. He looks like he has the chicken pox. After a crap ton of research I think it’s a bacterial infection. He is currently tubbed with with furan 2
now I read somewhere to split the does in half so I did. Now his activity level is high. He eats and poops just not really much in the tub he hates the tub. Water parameters are all good. His tank is a little warm last couple days around 68. But getting that taken care of.

so my questions are

1. Was splitting the medication the right thing to do?
2. How do I know it’s working?
3. Do I need to do anything to the tank? (Been doing 25% water changes every other day)
4. How do I keep him from stressing out in the tub?

Any and all advice is welcome. I don’t want him to get so sick he can’t come back from it.

I don't have a ton of experience, so maybe someone else can chime in. But from reading lots of threads, I know that usually people will fridge their axolotl during sickness because it lowers their metabolism (and likely keeps them from stressing so much while tubbed)

I’ve read that’s for life threatening cases? Idk I honestly just booked a vet appointment bc I’m so lost. But his tub has been remaining in the 50-60 range bc it gets cold at night
