Bloated Betta She Passed Away Today Rip

[WILDER]

The fish was on a high pretein diet with the bloodworms which can cause bloating.
Stop feeding the bloodworms for a few days.
Bloating consitpation, swim bladder, dropsy, to internal parasites.
You have done everything you can to help her, fed peas, done a epson salt bath, and added a bacterial med.
She going to the toilet still so her organs havent packed in.
Internal parasite signs are long stringy white poo, worms prutruding from the anus.
Anus will sometimes look enlarged and red and inflamed.
Looking skinny, sunken in belly, and bloating up.
Have the eyes sunken in or any swelling like the are bulging out.

Best not to feed her at all for a few days, can you issolate her.

what did i tell you, wilder nows a lot about these things

 

[WILDER]

Lol.
Never stopped since i came on nearly two hours ago.

 

[afishdude]

good work

The fish is isolated in a hospital tank and I have done the epsom salt for almost 5 days with upping the temp and today is day 2 with bacteria meds and feeding her peas. There is no sign of sunken eyes and she is far from skinny

 

[WILDER]

Keep going it can take time, turning the temp up is only good for helping a fish go to the toilet, which it seem to be doing.
In the bloated area any hard lumps.

 

[WILDER]

She dosn't look egg bound to me.
These are the symtoms.
Egg Bound Female - swollen abdomen, trouble swimming, loss of appetite, lethargic.

 

[bratni2]

She seems to be swimming ok and she would eat if I fed her... The problem is on any given day in the tank she never knew when to stop eating

 

[WILDER]

Same as goldifsh they will eat till they pop.
You have to be strict and have a good balanced diet or they get ill.
Good luck.
Don't feed her I know not nice but its for her own good.

 

[WILDER]

How is she doing bless her.

I have tried the pea trick,epsom salt and bacteria meds I am going to get some internal parisite meds in the morning. I have not fed her since the last post and have not seen her poop. Scales are not sticking out and her is still the same

 

[WILDER]

I've been here as well with a ranchu couldn't get tweety swelling down either, no matter what I did.
He hadn't been going to the toilet for ages which made me decide to end his misery, organ failure.
He was getting septicemia which made me do the awful deed.

 

[bratni2]

I addded the parisite meds yesterday around noon and today there is a long string of white poo but it is something. Swelling looks the same but we will see

Thanks for all your help

 

[WILDER]

Long stringy white poo can be contipation, internal parasites to bacterial infections.
