Illness/Sickness: Bloated lotl hasn't eaten for 3 weeks and poops weird stuff

Thanks again for your response! I put Mr. Pink (the leucistic one) in the fridge yesterday. He's still floating, so I'm gonna look up information on how to massage his belly. As soon as he swims upright again I will start a second treatment with Flagellex. If this has no effect I'll try treating them with Dactycid.

Thanks very much for the link. I'll call the vets in Roosendaal and Tilburg (thay are about half an hour away) and see what they say.

I really appreciate your help! Yesterday I was was pretty sure I'd have to euthanize them, but you gave me some new hope. I only just noticed you're from the Netherlands too, what a coincidence :happy:
 
Aww thanks. And very welcome. I really hope this works out for you and your axies. :D

And yep, another Dutchie :D
 
I've also had my axolotls (3) for about a year now, and I am experiencing the same problems. It is also happening to my leucistic axolotl, named Axie, who used to swim around happily and steal all the spotlight from her tankmates but now she sits in a dark corner in a flower pot or under some plants. :( She has also stopped using her back legs and eating, what ever happened to your axies? did they make it out okay? could you suggest any anti-parasites that are available in Australia?
Im sorry that you had to go through such a process, its the worst feeling, I know :(

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
