Hi all,
My son dean's axies are still in the fridge (the yellow one bloated too - black one still fine) and have been on their antibiotics for the five days - the vet I finally got hold of - suggested Flagyl - so they have been having that added to their water containers in the fridge - they are still puffy - wondering now how long to keep them on the medicene - that was a mission as it is a prescription only here in Aus - but I got it - lovely chemist guy willing to help the little axies - I am wondering if it was in their system when I got them from the pet shop- strange though because his original axie Freddie is still fine - although showing some weird behaviours now he is in the tank alone -(well they seem weird to me) - he barely hides at all now - and swims around alot more - he swims to the filter - goes with the water flow and swims back - he has also been crusing along the top of the water like a crocodile - (that is the only way I can think to explain it) - Is that normal???? He then has the usual sit on the bottom of the tank motionless - had the water tested and it is all good - I think my theometer has stopped working properly - but still have two litre ice packs in the tank with him - so the water is cool - Any idea's ???
