I have a juvenile axie that bloated and was attacked by his/her siblings. During the attack he/she lost three limbs and I think his/her gas pocket got popped. I fridged him/her until life seemed to return to his/her body. I put him/her in a small hospital tank where he/she contracted some sort of fungus on a stump. I treated him/her with API fungal meds and returned him/her to the fridge.
He/she is back in a hospital tank now. The problem is that he/she won't eat. I've gotten this far and don't want to give up.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does the hospital tank still have any medications in it? That could be contributing to the no appetite...

What have you tried feeding?
 
if the medications are not contributing to appetite, then I would try getting it to feed on an earthworm appropriate for its size.
 
Good news, my juvenile is eating again. He ate a red wiggler, a smallish type of earth worm you can buy at Wal-Mart for trout fishing.
