I'm very worried about my little Fozz. She has a gill fungus that I can't seem to get rid of, but the salt baths are really stressing her out. Is it possible for salt baths and stress to cause GI upset? This is the second time in a week she has acted constipated after a bath.
The first time (I'm ashamed to say) I added a little to much salt to the bath. She swam around with her tail in the air and had diarrhea the following day. Tonight I gave her her second bath in 24hrs (I'd been doing every other day) and when I moved her back she started arching her back with her tail in the air and her little cloaca pooched out like she's trying to poop. SHe was acting completely normal before the bath.
Is this all typical? I'm afraid I'm doing more harm than good :'( I just want her stupid fungus to go away!
