Ever had a fish recover from dropsy

- Start date
I had a black molly recover from dropsy, however he was just starting to show signs of it and I was already medicating. He was one of a couple fish who developed internal parasites (didn't quarantine a new fish, bad me :duh: ) of which only two showed the dropsy side-effect. I had started treatment when the first fish developed dropsy, the Molly was only just starting to show the typical bloating. I attribute the save to the fact he wasn’t far-gone yet at the time I started medication, the other fish w/dropsy did not make it.
Never give up
Ok i have had my Goldfish Pepper For 3 and a 1/2 years as soon as i put in a new fish oops no Quarintine ... they both got Dropsy and pop-eye
I was thinking she was prego (pregnant) fo r a half year when it started She soon got fin rot and parasites .. She was sooooo ill i seriously thought she had gone .BUT i DID NOT give up
on thinking that i would soon have to replace the fish Pepper a girl i found out i bought a recommended book called Aquariums for dummies I went strait to the Disease and health probs. Septiscimia it was! Worse thsn dropsy by the way So i called my local petco store and told them the symptoms and what i thought he had they gave me 1medicine that cost 10 Bucks I added it in with all of the chemicals to my new fish tank ...
Pepper is doing... Fenominal Her pop-eye is almost gone Parsasites Gone Finrott Stopped ....now with dropsy one way you can tell if it is getting better is if your Fish starts Pooing a lot A Lot
Bottom line Never give up on something that can survive
hop i have been some help

What kinds of meds did you add and how did you add them? What other things did you do to your tank to help with the illness? The reason I ask is if someone else may have the same problems they may be able to do what you did and keep a fish from dieing. Thanks
My poor fish is going down fast. 
It now has fin rot and some of its fins are disintegrating. Also, as of yesterday it has little red streaks on its scales mostly below its lateral line. Today I noticed it has four little bubbles, two on each side. They are clear, thin and possibly filled with fluid. My fish is a survivor, so far.
