Hello all!
I have a problem with my ten year old female. I found her this noon upside down on the bottom. She was still breathing, I put her in between two stones, so she won't be able to flip and put her in front of the jet for oxygen supply. Then my fish doctor came later, he believes it is a trauma. This morning she was fine still, even eating. We do have a lot of foxes lately and they have been seeing strolling gardens, so maybe this is an explanation? Anyway he gave her antibiotics with the syringe to see if she pulls through the night, we have her in a separate pool inside the pond with oxygen supply close to her face. Any suggestions?! As he caressed her, she was 'loosing' bubbles around her body (sorry English is not my mother tongue...)I uploaded a photo, not too good, but you can see her belly... Very grateful for some input... all other five fish are perfectly ok.
