It was a long journey, but I am posting to report she has fully recovered! Huge thank you for the support. Hopefully this can give hope that dropsy does not have to be fatal, with the right support and with her fighting spirit she managed it! After the treatments I put her back in the main pond...

I’m happy to report that the skin damage/ sores are healing and furthermore her left side has reduced slightly. She seems a lot calmer, she’s not hiding and is breathing much less. But still spending time under the fountain. I live remotely and have tried to find a vet who would come because I...

Hi, terribly sorry I am posting in English as my German is terrible! I would greatly appreciate help with evaluating if I’ve taken the correct steps to help heal my Koi. She has late stage dropsy, her internal infection has caused her to swell. And I am fairly sure it is caused by internal...
