[Rescue] Dropsy? SBD?

Thank you! Are they available at PetSmart? I'm up that way for work tomorrow so I'll be sure to get some.

Don't know, not from the usa :)

But I think so, they are a major brand as far as I know.. Worth a check for sure!

They didn't sell Jungle products at PetSmart, so I grabbed API's "General Care." On the back it says it treats for: gill and skin flukes, hole-in-head disease, wasting disease, and swollen abdomen, which is what he clearly has. Hopefully this will help him.

API's general cure can be used together with Epsom for more effective results :)

I work at Walmart and just found out that we are going to start selling bettas!!! I am most likely going to turn myself into a nagging you know what to all my managers.....this could add more stress to my already not happy work mood, at times. If they do, hopefully, they get females....I'm more able to save females from work. My boyfriend has given me an aquarium limit and I have a 15 gallon that I'm in the process of getting everything to set it up for a sorority. *SIGH* Wish we had a big enough place so I could set up another 10 gallon divided for saving 2 more boys. It's going to be so hard walking past the pet department on my way to clock in....

Convince your managers to make you saleswoman of the betta \ fish, atleast that way even if you can't take them you will be able to make their stay less horrible

If you dont have any luck with what you bought, i know my walmart sells all jungle products. You can pick up the tablets there.. Hope your lil man gets better.. i too am having a boy with the same thing.. i am starting with the salt and then if it doesnt work .. getting the meds too.

[Bladezero]

Good luck both of you :) Keep us updated on how they are doing :D

He's still alive and active. On day 4 of the treatment, which I believe I need to add some more medication according to the directions. Need to get home to do that.

No changes in his belly though.

No change at all? it makes me start thinking there is something else in there..
