My Worst Fish Nightmare Has Come True

How do you syringe feed a fish? I would think touching her would be painful. Do you isolate her in a net and try it that way?

I just gently cradle her in a cupped hand. Safer than a net.

Success! She must be feeling a little bit better. She just ate on her own! :dance4:

Thank you all for caring! :hug8:

Just seeing this now. What a challenge you have on your hands, Carole

but from reading all of your other threads on your other pets, I do believe if anyone can succeed at bringing an angel back from death's door, it is you. So happy to hear Tora has started eating. Whatever happens, KNOW that you did your very best :hug8:

and take solace in that :heart:

Excellent update Carole! I hope she continues to improve! :hug8:

That is marvellous news Carole. Long may it continue! :dance4:

You are a fish guru yourself, Carole!! :hug8:

Not many people can CARE and actually truly LOVE their fish like you do! I have a lot of respect for people like you! :hug8:

That is awesome that she is eating. Hope she gets well soon! :hug8:

cONGRAts!!!! I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers!! :hug8:

The metro-meds arrived! That was fast! Hopefully this will really turn her around. Thanks everyone for the kind words and thoughts. :hug8:

What form is the metro-med & how is it administered to the fish? Gosh, I really hope it works. After reading this, I've definately decided to stop using metrocreme for rosacia

I'm so glad to hear the medication arrived so quickly!
Tora has been in my thoughts since I saw this thread, I really hope this works for her and she continues to improve.

Thank you April and Sondra :hug8:

I just read through the reviews, lots of them saying it cured dropsy. Sounds pretty good!

Birdiemarie · 7/24/12

How is she doing Carole? :hug8:

waterfaller1 · 7/24/12

Hi Marie, thanks for asking! :hug8:

She is back in the main tank, since I decided to feed everyone the med food for a couple weeks. Happy to be back with her buddies, and about 90% better.
