i give her food and she ate much to, but when i see again she can pub! but not the big it out but the little, it out from the big ...
and i with the most worried try to pull her pub from her anus, but its very hard and i stop it.

Constipation?

Epsom salts will help. Maybe she swallowed a shell?

i hope she got constipation then tape worms, i m very worried about her,
for her food i give her only scaloop meat, and bribe her one by one

i scare to give her medcine ... i wanna to know frist what problem with her maybe sombody know it.

in my home i have primafix but not epsom salt, it is same with other salt?
i mean salt in the kitchen?

this is a pic, in this morning i shoot her, she act like normal and like nothing happen with her anus.

Yes, Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) should help with anal prolapse. Try your local drug store. 1 tbsp/10g.

thx for your help,
one more question ...
it is ok if i medcine her in her tank?
or must be quarantine?

or maybe i should water change?

thx

Epsom salt is not medicine. WC are always a good thing.

so for the dosge, it is daily weekly or ...?

sory to much question,

i call ad ask the pet store (fish) he said sea salt ... it is same?
he sell salt fish for recovery it is same with epsom salt ?

thx i very worried about vivi, she want eat and eat much but her anus ...
like ambien

No, it is not the same salt. Just like adding any salt for treatment, you must replace what you remove when you do WC.

Now I'm in fish store in indonesia, and they didn't know about epsom salt ... In here they give me advice to give ectopur sera, it is same?

Epsom salt is not usually found in the fish store. It is found in the drug store. I am not familar with ectopur sera.

I have search in many drug store in indonesia, the biggest drug store i my town I was there and they don't have magnesium sulfate , they have magnesium sulfate for infuse for people, but that is liquid not powder, it is same?

Sory ask to much, I'm very worried
