Axolotl- Strange swollen abdomen

[Kamaza]

Hello!
I'm staying and looking at my axolotl.. His abdomen is very swollen and I'm worryed about it.
This morning he was OK, but now.. you see. He ate before 20-25 minutes, but I'm not sure if he was with this big belly before that.
I gave him 2 small shrimps and nothing else.
Is there a problem ? For me- there is but I want to 'hear' your advices.
Thank you and sorry for my bad language.

He probably ate one of these small pebbles by accident. It's highly dangerous to place such small pebbles on axolotl tank, as it can be eating by mistake and cause severe problems, bc it doesn't pass through the digestive system.
I suggest you take out ALL small pebbles that are smaller than the axolotl head. Your options are to leave the tank bare bottom, or use very fine sand, or maybe place some big rocks that doesn't fit in his mouth.

Keep monitoring.
Good luck!

When I woke up I saw his belly was OK. I should take out all pebbles.
