titch 104 Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Just done my WC & noticed this... I know I need to fill in the D&D thread but just wanted to get this on here ASAP, plus doing my it on my phone is a PITA. Do you think it’s dropsy or a graze/irritation of some kind? It’s just on the one side behind the gill. He’s clamping slightly too. We’re a week into QT with 100% WC everyday, no meds so far. Info to follow. Edited November 30, 2017 by titch 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
