The Puffer Forum

I am so excited! I just checked on her and when she came out from her cave a little orangish ball came out of the anus. I figure it's digested krill ?? The anus is actually closed like it should be! It was a little red right after the BM but perhaps more healthy red, not bright like it has been. There was also no protruding or swollen look.

I haven't checked the water today but I will later.

I'm feeling even more encouraged now. Who would've thought a day would come when I'd be so excited over a fish bum.

Maybe it was just a big hard poo that needed shifting. Keep a close eye and let us know how its going

Epsom salt did the trick!

good to hear

Keep up the treatment for about another week and ween the little guy off the krill. Once everything has "normalized" you can go back to your regularly scheduled maintenance.

And don't worry... in the hospital threads people often get excited about poop

+1 "Anus" and "poop" are hot topics in the Hospital Forum

Lol

2 subjects that I would normally NEVER discuss in mixed company!

She looks wonderful today! Hinny looks all normal and healthy. Her tummy couldn't be any more white. Yesterday she played and played in the outflow and she had blue claw crab for dinner. What a little pig she was, looking rather deformed. And she allowed her Molly "friend" to share the crab with her. I swear he has to do whatever she does. Makes me a nervous wreck thinking she might get mad and hurt him.

I'm going to get a special treat for her today. Lobster from my fav grocer. Geeze, I don't eat that good.

As always, Puffer People are the best! You really are. Thank you all for your help and it's so nice to meet you.

It's great to "see" you PufferPunk. I'm sure you don't remember me, even though you only talk to a few people here and there.

I think I'll take that furan back and trade it for a digital themometer. I don't believe I would've considered such a simple treatment.

Puffer Love to You All, Beth & Carly ( the adorable F8 with a cute hinny )

Glad all has turned out good

Yes, very good that everything came out all right in the end

Beth, were you under a different name before?

you've treated 3 times already I don't think a fourth is needed. I don't really know exactly how to help you until you can get back with some test results. You said your GSP died the same way? What exactly is their diet? List everything you feed them.
