My axie, mercury, has been sick for about a week now, it started off as a bit of a bloated belly. After reading a few of the posts i decided on a water change. i let it sit. etc. then i put him in. The next day, he wouldn't eat and his back legs were off the ground and he spent a majority of the time hiding in the corner.
After further reading i put him in the fridge, around 6-9 degrees celcius. He started to perk up and he started eating a little bit (1/4 of a cube of blood worm) then just the other day, he wasn't moving, he wouldn't react when i touched him, i became VERY worried, then it was as if he had woken up.
Then just today, he has developed a MAJOR case of the lumps, his tail is swollen and stiff, he has lumps ALL over his back and up his spine. His mouth is always open, his cloaca is swollen AND i can see the white under his jaw (where the skin is whhite, like on all fish) his gills have shrunk and i am very worried about his life. I have contacted the local VET and they have reffered me to another VET, but he is over an hour away. I don't know what to do.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
i am afraid that he is on the verge of leaving me.
URGENT INFORMATION NEEDED!!!
I can't get pictures as i always use my phone to take photos but you can't see anything in the pictures from the phone.
