I have seen this before in Axolotls living in warm slightly acidic water. Not to sweat it, it happens to the best of us.
Most successful treatment was refrigeration (as stated above) and the addition of a SMALL amount of salt to the water.
I used 2.5 gallon(9.46L) glass dishes for my "hospital" tanks. I added one quarter teaspoon ( I believe this is about 14.78mL...hopefully someone can verify this conversion)of freshwater aquarium salt per gallon. Water changes are done every other day. Average temperature is 58 degrees Fahrenheit (14.4 C)
I also added a one mL of Melafix to the dish every other water change. (I am unsure of the availability of this product outside the US, but it is an excellent antibacterial I have used with great success in treating various infections in axolotls over the years.)
