Sick axolotl, won't eat just floats

[Kelsee]

Recently received this sick axolotl from a friend, it will not eat and just floats in the top of the water i have had it for a few weeks and i'm not sure what to do

 

[snowbutton]

what have you tried feeding it ?

 

[Kelsee]

worms and pellets, last time i fed him he did eat but he either threw them up or pooped them out whole

Have you tried bloodworms?
Perhaps very small amounts of food several times a day would help.

If your axolotl will not eat, you may need to force feed it or it will die.

Here is a link on how to do this, but only do it if it's absolutely necessary for its survival.
I would also invest in getting some stress coat to calm down your axolotl.
