to the vets, anybody ever draw air from a goldfish bladder?

[Guest guest]

Hi. A friend has a goldfish that is floating sideways, we tried peas, anarchis,

massage, epsom salts. also bloodworms and antibiotics but it still seems to have

a air bubble, maybe that's all it has.

The goldfish was brought home from a country fair 8 yrs ago, looks fine but,

recently, seems to be suffering because of this floating problem.

I wanted, after all these measures, to use a syringe to extract the air, they

have a double air bladder, I've done the research, but still,not confident, not

confident with goldfish anatomy. The critter lets me hold it, feed it. Seems

like it could go on for a long time like this, but I hate to see it suffer.

Any suggestions?

Well in happy 'coincidence', stuck to my kitchen cupboard - here in Brisbane

Australia - we have a picture of a goldfish named Dick, afflicted with the same

problem.

 

I titled his picture BE KIND TO FISH ... being a Piscean and all

 

Dick lives/ lived in a tank in the Schenectady 'Sky Port Diner' and made world

news once kind patrons rigged up a device to enable him to float upright.
