Help my goldfish

Debbye.. You probably didn't kill any of your fish. If they weren't moving.. they are dead. lol. These goldfish (with swim bladder disease) are very much alive and you can tell it! They can maneuver all over the place.. and eat and everything.

Bon

To SOME individuals - UMMM NO this wasn't a joke.

To Kday - you were right on. I've had that problem with my fancy goldfish before.

Good luck with your fish. When my fish "Iron Mike" died a couple of years ago I cried for an hour. He was the kids' pet and we had him for a long time. He bellied up for a couple days and then he CTBd. Common sense says he was "just a fish" but I really got attached to that little guy!

welcare

SOME of us werent making fun of you. SOME of us obviously dont know anything about fish. SOME of us thought you were just messing with us. SOME of us are sorry if your feelings were hurt.

Well damn! I guess you live and learn something new everyday! I thought it was a joke too and I probably would have told you to do the same thing frustratedRN did, LOL.

Anybody see 'Deuce Bigalow?' HAH!! I cracked up at that scene where the dude was tapping on the tank saying, 'fishy fishy fishy' in that stupid voice and Deuce grabs his hand and says, 'they really don't like that.'

LOL!! I'd be the geek saying 'they really don't like that.' Yep, I'm an aquarium geek. I totally admit it!!

JUST CALL ME DEUCE! HA!

Maybe they have tiny foley's for swim bladder disease. Next time we have a pt with a distended bladder and urinary retention we ought to try a salt water bath. Much less invasive and it would cut down on catheter introduced UTI's.
Sorry

I don't believe a tiny foley would allow to escape from a fish with swim bladder nor do I think salt water baths would help a human with a urinary retention problem since the two are completely unrelated in nature. FYI: "Bladders" aren't always associated with urine.

Swim bladder disorder is when the gas-filled sac located in the dorsal portion of body cavity of a fish is distended and trapped.

It was a joke Bon, ok maybe a stupid one but a joke.
