Skin melting!! Never seen this before

[BIG J]

One of my juveniles has got something wrong with him that i have never seen before in over 10 years ok keeping an breeding Axies, parts of his body are literally melting away there is no fungus at all, from what I can see his skin is just melting he's not been nipped or damaged skin on anything, as he's kept on his own an there's nothing that could cut him, water is changed 20% every week an parameters are all as they should be for Axies, but his skin seems to just be melting away it started on his tail, then on his back leg an it's just getting worse his back legs peeled away to the bone in a day an now I can see even the bones themselves are melting to....his skin is very pink an inflamed so I'm dubious of salt baths as it may cause more truma than good in this case I'm thinking it's an infection but I've never seen something like this ... Can anyone help I'll upload pics now

If you haven't already, isolate immediately and be very careful about cross-contamination with other tanks. (Sterilize equipment.)

Sounds bad, whatever it is. Do you have an amphibian vet? Auntie Jude may be able to tell you where one is.

I've noticed his bottom lip is starting to go as well now... see pic... he's been isolated completely and I'm making sure water is cool and declored an fresh I'm thinking fridge him an maybe tea bath, i just don't know what way to go for the best with this and its developing VERY fast i did originally think it was fungus when i saw it but its not the skin is just liquefying

If you don't have/can't afford a vet, there are axolotl-safe antibiotics you can get at the fish stores (at least in this country, you can.) See list in Axolotls - Health & Diseases. Also, I think kanamycin is safe for axolotls, and is supposed to be absorbed through the skin, and works together with Furan-2 some how to get better results.

(I am not a vet. I got this from Goggling, so check this info before using it.)

Good luck! Poor axolotl.
