Regular Member blackteles Posted October 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted October 22, 2010 Well, I had to euthanize Snow today after losing Hamlet a week ago...one of my RG telescopes, what a difficult thing to do. She's had progressively worsening SBD and it's finally got to the point where she was so weak that she couldn't even swim for her food, and she didn't have the strength to swim away from the filter intakes. I knew it was coming...she just kept getting worse and worse, and I knew it couldn't be helped or prolonged. Luckily the rest of the herd is doing fine and I know they'll hang in there for me. I read how Susan said it was so difficult to euthanize, and believe me..IT IS. It's been a fun nine months, Snow, I won't forget you. Aloha little friend! Snow when she was feeling good... Snow checking out the new kid... Snow in Hawaii Snow in Hawaii 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike and Linda Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I know it can be hard when you loose a favorite fish that you like. I feel for you. I had to do one also and you seem to get attached to these fish. Sorry for your loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike and Linda Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I find that fixing fish is so difficult. Just read alot on swim bladder and see what solutions that they have. i hope you don't loose your fish. Take care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member caitie Posted October 23, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted October 23, 2010 Dennis I was so sad to read this especially since you just lost Hamlet. Doing what you did for Snow was very courageous and selfless. She gave you nine wonderful months and you gave her freedom from what was becoming a very difficult life. She was lucky to have you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
