Miracle super cure. My betta got some kind of infection or parasite that is causing popeye/dropsy and despite using the med trio 3-4 weeks ago, he started showing signs of bulging eyes last week on Tuesday. I changed his water again and used maracyn as Wednesday one eye was almost pushed out of his head and the other was bulging out. Added ich-x to the water too, and had to leave for two days for an out of state funeral. When I came back, he was clearly blind, and he hadn’t been eating. I know he had eaten Sunday, but not since. As of now, it has been 9 days without food, and 7 days afflicted. 3 water changes (90%) and maracyn as well as salt haven’t helped. I was hoping salt would help bring down the osmotic pressure and swelling, and it might have, but he is still blind.
I love Gil, but I don’t think he will last much longer. If his site would come back and he could eat, he has a chance. He’s so thin right now and his poor fins are getting torn up from running into the side of the container. I know he’s scared and it breaks my heart😭
