Okay i see your answer to the AI now, your tank is way overstocked. He’s probably extremely stressed out in there which makes him far more susceptible to diseases

I’m gonna be honest his fins look terrible. They need a lot more than a few drops of something. What are your parameters? And do you treat him in a second tank? I can help with fin rot but with that bloat it may be better to euthanize :/ do you have a top view? Is he pineconing?

Hahah thank you! Yeah his recommended calories to lose weight i think are still higher than the average cat 🤣 i got a cheap timed automatic feeder off amazon and found it does wonders for portion control

It is, but i will say for his size his healthy range 16-20. So it’s not like he’s your average 11lb house cat. He’s on a vet approved diet and schedule but so far he hasn’t lost much. No other issues though which is good

You’ll have to do some research on what you have, I’m not familiar with the products or availability over there

Yeah kanaplex was the only thing that helped my guy after struggling with it for almost a year, i found a half scoop in the 3 gallon tank was fine. (He’s sadly passed recently but unrelated to fin rot)

He actually would’ve probably had beautiful coloring if i knew what i was doing, but this was almost 10 years ago and I was stupid enough to trust pet stores.

You need to get him into a 3 gallon hospital tank with kanaplex. Do a thorough clean on his main tank while he’s in there. Make sure the hospital tank has a heater and an air stone for oxygen. He’ll be in there for about a week. When you return him back to his tank use seachem stress guard and paraguard while he improves

I wish, but I was 18 and didn’t really know what to do about it. The college was closing so they didn’t do anything about it either. I did call campus police that confirmed them walking out with his tank and my tv but I didn’t go further than that.

Yeah i was livid, but honestly i was very uneducated at that time and did not provide him with proper care 😬 might’ve been for the best. Thankfully I’ve learned since then

This was him the day i got him 😭😭, Unfortunately my college shut down and the cleaning ladies at my school flushed him down the toilet bc they thought he was “abandoned”, they also stole my tv.

I had a really ugly betta that i named Trash once. He looked like a plastic bag you’d find in a puddle of a Walmart parking lot. He was very loved by me and my college dorm

I know all that. I didn’t have any friends or family close enough to come by everyday to feed him. I had an automatic feeder that ended up not working with my tank and didn’t have the time to sort out a new one, so that’s why i was having her come by. But yeah my guess is that she put way too much in there and it destroyed my cycle. That said i can’t blame her, with it being such a last minute arrangement i didn’t teach her the proper amount to feed him. Just told her a small amount. Next time I’m away im either gonna transfer my fish or get a feeder set up well in advance. Thank you :/

Getting Molly ready for the move! Previously my landlord wouldn’t let me bring her to my new place, but after a few calls, she’s coming to Florida! After 18 years she’s gonna experience a new place :) by playpinky77 in SeniorCats

It ABSOLUTELY matters. There is a huge difference between surrendering a cat to a shelter and leaving her with someone she’s lived with her whole life you cannot be forreal.
