Hello all. Some of you helped me with my Oranda Gracie a bit ago. She had a slight down turn floating vertically so we took her to see Dr Lewbart from NC State he is a Professor of Aquatic, Wildlife and Zoo medicine there and he agreed to see Gracie for me so we made the 2 hour road trip to NC State 2 weeks ago. We trimmed her wen, she had an exam and X-rays done. I attached pictures of her visit for your information. We learned a lot that day. Good news no significant finding except her cranial swim bladder was larger which could be the cause of some of her symptoms. She is at home safely and now we keep her aquarium salinity at 1.002 specific gravity which is helping. I wanted to share our adventure with you and her pictures. One is a video of them listening to her heart I hope you can hear the slow swoosh sound. 
I am trying very hard to keep a long adventure short so if you have any questions I will answer the best I can. SuzaN

I saw two threads appeared the same. I merged them for you. 
It warms my heart to know folks love their fish family members enough to seek proper medical attention. ♥️

It was nice of them to donate time and equipment to help you out.
