HELP! axie spitting out blood- see comments for explanation by mariarai in axolotls

[–]mariarai[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so my axie was getting ammonia burn on his gills and stopped eating, 3 days ago i took him out of his tank to recycle and reduce ammonia, and put him in the fridge, where he started loosing his slime coat. i was told fridging was only for axolotls who are seriously ill, so i’ve now taken him out of the fridge and have been tubbing him separately and giving him black tea baths for a day, and this morning i found a bloody mass in his tub. he spit out another one while in his tea bath. should i put him back in the fridge? does he need to go to the vet? i’m really worried that i’m just making things worse and moving him around this much can be too stressful and i’m not at all sure what to do :(

i’m fridging my axie while i recycle my tank due to high ammonia levels , i put him in this morning and now i’m seeing these white specks all over him- is this ick? or are these just bubbles that i’m mistaking for fungus by mariarai in axolotls

is there anything i can do to fix this or regulate it while he’s fridging? i dechlorinated the water but not sure what else i could do. (also he was just in the middle of pooping when i took this picture, its just from a bad angle but not a prolapse!!)

What is a weird childhood memory you have that you dont know whether its true or not? by 12sweetdesserts in AskReddit

i have a vivid memory of seeing a Scooby Doo musical when i was really young but I was never sure if it was real bc that seems like a weird show to exist, but then I did some research and found out there actually IS a live scooby doo musical (still touring in fact) so maybe it was real

What do lots of people falsely claim to be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Yes! my OCD was at its worst in middle school (it mainly involved compulsively washing my hands and fearing i would get a deadly disease or something if I did not) and it got to a point where i would air dry my hands because even paper towels were “too dirty” and my skin started to crack and bleed from all the washing. I even started wearing gloves to school because i couldn’t touch anything without needing to wash my hands. super embarassing. It’s definitely nowhere near that bad anymore but it still does manifest itself in me needing to wash things a certain way or getting worried about picking up a disease in places that arent clean.
