My Betta Boy's A Little "under The Weather"-hope What I&

[wendyngd]

Hi-

Trying not to panic as much as I used to with earlier bettafriends who got sick--Yesterday, I thought I noticed his eyes being a little puffed out. And he wasn't eating very much--which for him is strange--he's a little vacuum. I changed the water and then today saw that his eyes were still (more) a little swollen and he seemed lethargic and not too interested in food.

So I had some tetracycline in the house (figured I'd treat him for popeye) and gave him his first dose today. Hopefully, I can catch this early--so it doesnt progress. He seemed somewhat listless--hanging out at the top of the tank--leaning against things--BUT HE WAS CONTINUOUSLY BLOWING BUBBLES, that silly guy! Although he did play with me a little.

So please say some prayers for my little buddy.

And happy holidays to all!

Thanks. -Wendy

Wendy will keep my fingers crossed hopefully you have caught him in time. I keep thinking my 2 OAPs look funny but then they have just told me off so I think they are just daydreaming. to your little fishy.

Thanks so much. He's still not eating--although he's pretty peppy! I just pray that he gets better and hope I'm not overmedicating him.

From what Bettatalk.com says, it shouldn't be too fatal as long as it doesn't mean an internal problem. Bless him and good luck.
