Question: Flakey Skin

[brinana]

I need help. i'm a newly axolotl owner and my axolotl looks horrible. His tail is almost completely gone and parts of it are peeling the skin completely to where it looks raw. His gills are falling off the gas exchange parts are gone. His right eye is very cloudy. On his left leg it looks like a white film in shape of a circle and its trying to fall off but sticks onto him. I've isolated him in his own tank with and given him salt baths, i'm not sure what else to do?

What's the watertemperature? And what are the parameters? As far as I know "shedding" is a symptom of 'something'.

Okay, first off, stop the salt baths as if his skin is raw, you are only irritating him. Please post some pics and fridge him immediately in fresh, dechlorinated water. FRIDGE

As Morrison suggested, please post the parameters and temp.
