INJURIES, WOUNDS

In addition to this, you will need to know more about it.

Axolotls are easily injured, this can be caused by a decoration that is too sharp or one of its congeners! And yes they are raw, and being a little short-sighted, sometimes bite by mistake. Here is the procedure to follow in the event of an injury: First, it will be necessary to determine the severity of the injury in order to decide whether or not to put the axolotl in the infirmary tank. It is not always necessary to put your axolotl in a bin, this generates significant stress and can worsen a situation.If the wound bleeds little or not, it is small, there is no need to isolate it, but watch that none mycosis does not settle there. Regeneration will do the job. In nature we don't run after him with methylene blue . If you could not make a solution dip the tip of a knife in water then in the powder this will make a dose for the treatment of a wound (the water must be light blue) if it is for a anti-stress use use the tip of a toothpick. If possible, leave him quiet in his aquarium by turning off the light, it will relax him. On the other hand, if the wound seems deeper, conducive to infection, the axolotl should be isolated in a plastic tub with fresh water (which should be changed every day). If the wound becomes infected, it will be necessary to use methylene blue (see the Methylene blue sheet below). You should also know that a lower temperature will allow the injury to heal more quickly. Duration of treatment 3 to 4 days.

QUANTITY : It is important not to abuse this product. Even in small quantities, it works. It is recommended, for a 1% solution, to add 1 drop per 1 liter. For a 5% solution, 2 drops per 10 liters.

The instructions for making your own solution as well as the dosages are detailed in the document at the bottom of the page. Important point: we use methylene blue only in the case of nitrite poisoning or a serious injury, a small injury does not require soaking the loulou in this drug which is not harmless.
