Illness/Sickness: He Has serious problem

use two tubs of equal size (preferably ceramic glass or pyrex), fill both with dechlorinated water and 2g/l non-iodised salt, put both in same area so both are same temperature, put your axolotl in one of the tubs (make sure to place lid or something to prevent jumping out), feed at night change water in morning, try bloodworms (or smaller food portions) as they will be easier to digest then larger worms, ten minutes before doing water change in morning add enough drops of methylene blue to turn water a light blue (similar to the colour of a 0ppm nitrite test), after ten minutes remove axolotl and place into second tub, wash/clean first tub and refill with water ready for next water change, repeat daily until any improvement.

Epsom salt or just non iodised salt?
 
just non-iodised salt unless your water is soft.

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
