My axolotl ate a rock and is staying at the bottom. What to do?

Question

I have an axolotl. He ate a rock 2 days ago now. He's not swimming that much he stays in the bottom walking. Also, he is like 3-4 months max. I really don't know how to work out with this. I've watched a lot of videos to see if I can do it myself but I'm really scared that I do something wrong and he dies. Pet's info: Amphibian | Salamander | Male

Treating him yourself would not be recommended as you may cause injury. If the rock was small, he may eventually pass it. Maintain pristine water quality and proper temp. Monitor his appetite and stool output. If there is a veterinarian nearby with experience treating axolotls, then an exam would be strongly recommended in case surgery is required to remove the rock. Fridging Nox may also be recommended. You can read more about the process at the link below. https://www.caudata.org/axolotl-sanctuary/Fridging.shtml
