    I looked up info on dropsy, and it does sound like she could have it... except her scales are not raised... hmm...

    Poor girl. Everyone has already suggested what came to my mind, but I am still sending some good vibes out for her. Hopefully it passes, whatever it ends up being.

    Well, she's doing lots better... but can't fully dive. Swelling has gone down a lot.

    I have no idea what kind of diet I should do for her. I only feed her one pellet every 2-3 days, and even that seems to affect her... any suggestions?

    Poor little Erin . Have you tried her on a flake food? it might be a bit softer for her to digest.

    I hope she will be ok.

    We lost our Otto (the lastest one) a couple of months ago. It broke my heart.

    I think I'd just stick with peas without the skin, cut up enough she can eat them. Probably only need a tiny piece each meal.

    No, I haven't. But I might try it. I haven't used flake food for a while - my males never liked it. Maybe she will, though.

    Like, peas for life?

    Not for life, just until she's been acting better for a while.
