I've just done one of the scariest things I've ever done to a fish: I've trimmed a puffer's teeth. My lorteti male had become very long in teeth, and he also has become pretty thin lately, so I found there was no way around it: I had to something about his teeth. And, don't be angry with me for this, because there was no other solution; It's impossible to get Finquel or clove oil here, so I had to do it with him awake.
OMG, it was so hard! Those tiny teeth, and I was so afraid to hurt him. And to makes things worse, my hands were shaking pretty much.
He puffed a few times at the end, and I don't blame him. I was surprised he waited so long before puffing (FW puffers really don't puff very often). I have no idea how well I managed to do it, so I really hope he is OK. Now, he is very, very angry with me, and is hiding behind the filter, not moving at all. I guess he will stay there for a while. I dropped a few snails into his tank, so he has something to hunt if he wants to when I go to bed. I really, really, really hope he will be OK. But if I had not done it, I would have lost him in the end. Oh, my dear little puff.
I have done it many times from webshops though, always asking them to not write "fish meds" on the note to the customs. But this is from webshops (if it is caught, it will only be returned to the shop that sent it). I have no idea what will happen if it's sent from a person and not a shop. But send me a PM if you will get some.
The light is not on in his tank yet (it's still morning), and I was looking all over for him with a torch light, and couldn't find him. I didn't see him right in front of me! 
I wish I had been able to cut his teeth even further down, because I still think they are long. But it will have to do for this time. I can't let him go through it all again. I don't recommend anyone else to try to do it with the fish all awake. It was definitely not easy, and I felt so sorry for him. I still feel a bit guilty about it.
