im not too sure on the melafix hun - sorry.
Your bathing how many times a day? Are you using enough salt? Is the axie in the fridge, obviously apart from the bathing time?

Also, do you have an pics?


Is it just fungus? Skin peeling? Wat was the reason for the salt baths?? (sorry if youve already posted the reason in another thread).

Jojo has some good questions that need answering before we can give you any definate advice.

There is a list of safe axolotl medications here http://www.axolotl.org/health.htm However although melafix is on this list there has been much debate on this forum over its safeness to Axies.

I suggest you do a search on this forum for melafix and read what everyone has to say about it before you use it.

hope this helps

I'd try Furan 2 for a general cure all.
