is it possible for axolotls to have like, better than usual immune systems? because my mudkip will sometimes get like a tiny spot of fungus for like a day, then her body fights it off naturally and then it doesn’t appear again for months. this has happened maybe three times. i just am impressed that she can fight it off when most need tea baths and treatments. i wanted to ask if this was even possible//normal? i just find her to be my little oddball
 
The answer is difficult because Immune system is a defense against infections (attacks).
So, your axolotl may be seldom ill because it has a good defense (immune system) or because it suffers few attacks (fair environment, good husbandry)

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
