My axolotl has white spots on her gills and leg. What should I do?

Question

My axolotl has white spots on her gills and one of her legs. I'm a bit concerned for her but don't know what I'm supposed to do. Shes pretty new to my home but was with my friend for a year. I think it may be from stress but don't know if its fatal. Pet's info: Amphibian | Salamander | Female | unspayed | 10 months and 12 days old

Check the water quality and temperature. Perform partial water changes every few days to maintain pristine water quality. Use only conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent further stress or shock. Clean water is the foundation for healing and recovery. If there is no change, consider an exam with your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating axolotls. They can be sensitive to medications, so a doctor's advice after an exam would be safest.
