How to cure dropsy?

[Dargath78]

Let us know your results. I have never seen a fish with dropsy be cured, although I've only seen 3, I've read that once you notice it the fish is a goner.

My fish started eating again about a week ago after nearly 5 weeks of starving and bloating up. Its body is now back to normal size, tho abit skinny but there are still abit of scales popping out slightly from the left of his body. There is a little slime on his head t probably a reaction from the medicine i guess, but other than that he should hopefully be fully back to normal in another weeks time.

Dropsy is something you need to be 130% sure it's gone. Don't add it with any other fish until it's definatly gone. I'm glad it's getting better thouhg. I have seen fish get better from dropsy but it needs a constant attention to cure it.
