I'm very sorry for your loss...I had an experiance with Dropsy before, and my mum had with both her bettas as well. Hers had gotten far more worse than mine. Hers ballooned up greatly, mine started to, then passed. I didn't get a chance really. My mum tried to medicate hers, but he was too far gone by the time we realized what it was. *hugs* Vee Vee is in a better place now, try to think of that. Regardless of how long she was with you, she loved you muchly.
