Bloated axie????

[monica]

Hey guys,
My albino axie has a rather large tummy!! I noticed it two days ago but figured he was just
getting more than his fair share of the food. Now.....His belly is rather odd shaped...kind of comes to a point at the bottom. I'm going to place him in a container with fresh water and place him in the fridge. Any ideas on what this could be or what else I could do??

Hey Monica,

Did you get my last email? I have no idea what the tummy thing is, can you get a picture of it and post it? People may be able to tell what it is from a picture.

Theres a similar thread does your axie look like that?

Dev--oh no, the spine is straight. The tummy just looks like ....it swallowed a photo corner. That's the best I can describe it. It's an odd shaped tummy that does not look normal at all.

Rheanne--And I can't post a pic, the camera is acting up. Of all times!!

I placed him/her in the fridge and I'm just waiting to see if she passes something. I hope things turn out alright.

She's been in there all day now and nothing....How long should I and can I keep her in there?

Hey Monica, You're axie should be fine if you leave her in the fridge. I leave my fridge on normal temp when they are in there. You can leave her in there up to a week, and she will be alright

I hope this helps. I hope she gets better soon! Is she getting any better? Is she eating?

my female axie has a slight 'point' on the bottom of her belly too but its normal on mine. not sure if i have a pic showing this but ill have a look. brb.
back! found a pic that you can kind of see it.is this the same thing? because if it is, then i havent been worrying about it because my axies dont have anything they can swallow and get stuck in their belly.hope this helps at all.

 

[monica]

That's exactly it! Yeah mine didnt have anything to swallow in their tanks either which puzzled me even more. I was thinking i had feed her too much and I broke her!!

It's hot around here so I'll just keep her in the fridge till things cool off.
Thanks so much Claire! *Big Hug
