Regular Member SageBear Posted April 21, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted April 21, 2015 We lost our new little oranda today. He was the cutest little guy, we bought him even though he was obviously sick. He ended up having gill maggots, we couldn't get any meds for him and he just... passed. He fought so hard too, he was chock full of parasites and still eating as of yesterday morning. It looks like his gills were just too congested to move anymore. Swim in Peace little buddy, you've earned it <3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jmetzger72 Posted April 21, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted April 21, 2015 Sorry for your loss. I believe it was too advanced for you to treat even if you had acquired the meds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member SageBear Posted April 21, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 21, 2015 Thanks Jared, I think you're right. Even if we'd gotten the meds, and the parasites had fallen off, and the antibiotics had kept infection at bay... the scarring would've been pretty extensive. I don't think he could've made it, he was too badly infested 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
