What does she have??

[marianne]

Hi! My lecustic axolotlfemale has stopped eating since 2,5 weeks now and she is flapping her gills alot lately.She has'nt pooped so much either and her stomach looks swollen.Sometimes it looks like it has a bump inwards. It's hard to describe I'm very worried that she is very sick and I have looked for fungus on her but didn't find anything.What can it be??And it's really hot here in Sweden right now so the tank temp. is from 20-24 I try to cool the water down with fans and frozen bottles of water but the temp stays at over 20.Her roommate Rulle who is a wildtype is just fine.Here are some pics of her but its hard to see.

could she have swallowed a stone?

The gill flapping is normal. They'll do this to move fresh water over their gills when there is lower oxygen content in the water (this happens in warmer water).

This might seem drastic, but you could put her in the fridge overnight and see if she poos or throws anything up that is blocking her up. When I had my axie in the fridge she pooed out or threw up heaps of rocks (this is before I knew gravel was bad).
