Red leg

[madink]

I thought I would do an FYI for anyone experiencing the same symptoms with their axolotl. 2 days aga I notice 2 red spots (like pimples) on my axie. I took him out of the tank & in the fridge. Yesterday his legs had gone red & the 2 spots had turned into about 6. Today I took him to the vets. He has what is known as red leg - where they bleed internally due to a bacteria in their system.
Boo is now on a 10 day course of antibiotics. Enrotril & Flagyl.

Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone who sees these symptoms. In 2 days, Boo has gone from 2 spots - to internal bleeding that has spread from one end to another.

Hope this stuff works
