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...
