So on the 10th he was bloated and by the 11th his scales were sticking out. I bought treatment for dropsy and have been giving it to him daily, it turn the water yellow though, ick!
Today wehn I cleaned him he looked to a bit better! His scales are no longer sticking out and he looks like he did on the 10th, the day before the scales started to stick out. Also his mouth had been open a little bit the entire time he was sick and today he has closed it. He's also pooping normally.
I'm going to post some pictues to see if anyone else thinks he has improved.

Okay so this was him on the 10th

This was him on the 11th

he does look better. I would suggest continuing to baby him with frequent water changes. you can offer him food, but take it out if he doesn't eat it, and if he DOES eat, don't give him very much. Some pea, or one pellet and nothing else. You want to bring him back slowly as it's better than too much too fast.

Alrighty, thank you
I should keep giving him treatment, right?
Today I put some conditioner in as well.

 

[starrynightxxi]

well, if the treatment is not done, then yes, continue it. however if you've finished the treatment period, then just keep him in clean water.

Okay.
It's been more then 5 days so I'll give him a break.
Thanks for the help

It looks like he's improved.
Yeah, keep doing what you're doing, & make sure you don't over-feed if he does eat. You don't want him to bloat up again!

That is quite an accomplishment, dropsy is difficult to cure.

Oh dear he looked dreadful before. Glad to hear he's making such an amazing recovery.

And this is him today.

Okay I hate to say it, but I don't think he's going to get better. I think he could be getting worse, not sure, let me know what you all think.
He's usually very happy when I clean him, but today he is just sitting on the bottom.
I'm starting the dropsy treatment agian to see if it helps.

This was him on saturday.

And today.

Well, I remember when You Beta had dropsey. Clean his tank as often as you can. I gave You Beta his Dropsy meds every 4-6 days and he got through it. He died of an infection a couple months later Anyway, I hope he gets well soon.
