My 7 yr old lesser siren had a seizure about 6 months ago. It started to do alligator death rolls and swim while rolling around the aquarium like a torpedo. It didn't move much for about a day after the incident and now it can't stay at the bottom of the aquarium. It floats upside down. It has found a hiding spot and it stays in a horseshoe position in a corner between a rock and the glass. It has a voracious appetite but it is still messed up. What can I do to get it to not float upside down and get it's arms to work? I have started to put the food in front of it and coat the food in calcium to help it use it's arms.
Please some help,
Taylor
