I found this site while looking for other information. As I stated if you are reading this you could have a problem or using it to help others. I strongly suggest you save it in your favoutites.

Thanks for the link Keith. I've added to my favorites for future reference. Hopefully, I won't have to refer to it for myself often.

Minor correction to the link:

Aquarium Pharmaceuticals

The link in Heidi's post above has a <BR> tag embedded in it and throws up a "404 - File Not Found" message (at least it does for me). My minor correction should work fine.

[font color="#800080"]A reasonable link, however immediately suspect as it's by a drug company.
Doing a quick look shows
...Treat with MelaFix or PimaFix. If treatment seems ineffective, treat with Furan 2 or Triple Sulfa.
to be the recommended treatment for dropsy. My cases with dropsy is that once a fish is pineconeing and showing symptoms treating with something as mild melafix often wont help. They give the same suggestion of melafix for a number of other ones which IME should be treated with something stronger.[/font]

I did realize it was a drug company site, but it is a start and should be reliable information/guide as what to do if you only have a pet/LFS where the staff know less than you.
