Illness/Sickness: Swollen cloaca? (lol)

[iAxolotl]

Well i discovered my golden albino ( I got him for a week now) has swollen balls or whatever it is called.
I try to make more pics, My other axie got nothing :S
Edit: He's also walking the whole time with his backpart of his body floating :S

That's called the cloaca. That doesn't look very good. I am not experienced with this kind of stuff, but it might be cloaca prolapse (?)

Oh man, I'd have to agree with Psychopathic963. Here's a link that gives a brief description and image:

Before you go into a full blown panic, could you post some more pictures of your axolotl. Full length and so on. I am not too worried about their size, my axolotl males seem to get larger every now and then. But more pictures would help confirm if there is anything to worry about.

it doesnt look quite like the photos of prolapsed cloacas i've seen, but it does look a little swollen.

More pictures, water parameters etc will help you get help

Well after 2/1 Hour(s) it became back to normal :S
So i can't make more pictures of it.

From that photo, it looks like my leucistic males cloaca when he is dropping spermatophores.
