Hello to anyone who can help,
My 4 year old Shubunkin Judy has swim bladder. Went on holiday and left her one of those 2 week holiday tablet things you can get as she's always been fine on them before. Anyway, she didn't really eat this, when I got back she's gasping at the surface and has been doing this for the past 4 days since I got home... wonder if in the heat and the fact she didn't eat the tablet caused the bacteria to multiple, starving all the oxygen?? I've obviously taken out the uneaten tablet, done 2 big water changes, and I already have an air stone pump and filter and a couple of plants. She's not eating her flake food, but realise from here I should be starving her anyway... Tonight i tried to spoon feed crushed peas into her mouth but it was impossible as she just kept spitting it out straight away. is there anything else I can do to help her if i can't get peas inside her? should I buy another air stone and get some more plants? Is there any medicine that could help?
HELP ME!!
Thank you so much
