For a quick response on a sick fish, it's best to post in the emergency section.

Sorry, I personally can't be any more help than that

Use the tonic if that is all you have to hand, other than that all I suggest is Melafix if you can get some.
Also try some mashed up peas in case it is constipated, do not feed it any other food.

tonics in will try mushed peas for tea for it

Epson salt baths to help draw the fluids out.
Once scales stick out organ failure,. last stage of dropsy.
Fish rarely make it once scales stick out.
What colour is the poo.
Tonic meds are no good there crap.
