I rescued a 2 yr old axolotl and she was housed with gravel and extremely underweight and damaged gills. We’ve had her 2.5 weeks and she has only pooped 2 times but continues to eat and be active. She had pooped a tiny pebble though. I’ve given her salmon and reduced her tank temp. It cost me a fortune to get her new tank and supplies and I honestly do not have the money for a vet. Should I be worried? Here’s a before and now pic of her and a video of her playing.

she is very small and thin for a 2 year old so everything she eats will mostly go into put weight on, looking at the video because of the slight back end lift if there is any stones left in her they are negligible at best.
try to find other ways to cool down the water as ice bottles are good in an emergency but they cool the water down too fast causing temperature swings that can cause stress.

    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.
