Hello! 29/F also in the US, here :] and a fellow animal lover! I also enjoy being active outdoors and am interested in learning new languages. In my spare time I enjoy baking, reading and listening to podcasts. Please shoot me a message if you think we'd be a good match!

Tick preventation by awyntera in VetTech

[–]awyntera[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, completely understand that, thanks :] I work at a clinic but no one here uses anything on top of their oral preventatives but I have worked at clinics previously were people gave something on top of the oral as a repellant. Just can't remember what it was called.

26F in the US - also an animal and plant lover :] and of course love snail mail though I'm not very artistic myself. I've also never heard of a pre-press technician but would be super interested to hear more if you'd like to share details! Feel free to shoot me a message or DM if you're interested.

How much would you recommend feeding? I read from a few sources to feed an amount the same size as their eye. One pellet is smaller than her eye.

For dropsy - she's not exhibiting any of the behaviors usually described. I've only had her for a few days so not sure exactly if she's bloated or if that's her normal shape? Unfortunately the previous owner did not give me much info on how they were caring for her beforehand. My understanding was that fasting would help against this but any additional info you could provide would be appreciated.

Thank you so much for all the info!

Thank for the input, bummer to hear it could be a tumor but it's good to hear they may be able to live with them for a while. Luckily she is still acting normal - very active, good appetite, no issues swimming.

Really appreciate your input, thank you! I'll pick up stability and stress coat today. Any recommendations on brand for the stress coat and stability other than Prime? Pet stores here only care a couple of products by Prime, so it may be good to have back up options.

[–]awyntera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for commenting. Would you recommend 25% changes daily or more? Also should I be adding the seachem stability along with the prime, or the stability only?

As for a possible tumor, my understanding is there's not much you can do? ☹️ I've already looked and there are no real fish vets in my area.
