Regular Member Lolafish Posted July 29, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted July 29, 2007 Those new pics looked pretty good. I'm sure you hate to see her still floating upside down though. I wish I knew what to tell you do. Don't give up though. Your fish sure hasn't! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Lolafish Posted July 29, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted July 29, 2007 Thanks Lolafish, I went to the LFS's around here yesterday but none of them knew of anyone who could help.The red area on Comet's bulge seems to be better today. It seems like it is clearing up. Thank goodness!!!! I will take some pics and post later today. Fish, where are you from? Maybe I can help you find someone who can help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fish Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) Comet is hanging in there. Her bulge is big and not allowing her to swim down in the tank. It is keeping her very buoyant and floating upside down on top. I have to help hold her and take her down to her medi gold pellets so she can eat. She is very hungry, which is a good sign. Lolafish, I am from Maryland. Edited July 30, 2007 by fish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Shamu23 Posted July 30, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted July 30, 2007 goodluck with comet, is the bulge looking better? Maybe just continue the medigold for awhile, and see how it goes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fish Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Shamu, The bulge is looking bigger than before. I am feeding medigold once a day in the morning but I think I am going to add shelled peas with a grain of epsom salt once in the evening from today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fish Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hoping that the mods will swing by and advice. I really cant figure out what to do next to help Comet get better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Shamu23 Posted July 31, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted July 31, 2007 too bad the mods havent come around, I guess u could try feeding peas, its not recommended to feed other food with medicated food, but I guess it wouldnt hurt, not sure about that though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fish Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I'll wait for the mods advice before I start the shelled peas with grain of epsom salt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Saiyori Posted July 31, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted July 31, 2007 Did you consider that maybe one of the eggs could have hatched in her? I mean, that sounds like bad sci fi, but could it happen, like as a freak accident? I don't know, i'm just rambling, but good luck with her!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fish Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Comet is ok so far. She has a new red spot on her belly. She is a great fish and a good fighter. I think that the medigold is making her a little constipated and so I wanted to add the shelled peas with grain of epsom salt. I am hoping some mods come along to give advice sooooooooon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Ranchugirl Posted August 3, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2007 Wow, Fish, I am pretty much speechless that poor Comet is still bothered by this! I have some internet connectivity issues, and can't be here every day. I needed to read through all the pages to refresh myself on what had been suggested and what you have tried. What catches my eyes is that you never mentioned if you ordered Metromed or not. It is a stronger medicated food, and even treats such things like dropsy and popeye, and honestly, in my eyes much better than Medigold for the really bad bacterial issues. Can you order some Metromed from Rick? Meanwhile, I have a new container of it, and could mail you a little bit for Comet until the one from Rick arrives for you. If you want, PM me your address, and I mail it out to you tomorrow. It'll be enough to get you through a week's worth of food. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fish Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Thanks ranchugirl. I really appreciate your help . I have only used medi gold till now for 39 days. I will order the metromeds today!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Shamu23 Posted August 3, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2007 let us know when u get the metromeds and how comet reacts to them I hope they'll make her feel better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fish Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 The goldfish connection has been down today so I cannot order the metromeds. Does anyone know what antibiotics are in metromeds??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ranchugirl Posted August 3, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2007 Fish, the antibiotics in it are Metronidazole, Ormetoprim-sulfa and Oxytetracycline... The website was working fine for me just now, but if you are having problems, Rick's phone # is (814)866-2412. PM me your addy if you want me to send you some. I believe our little post office is open tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
