Arowana Help?!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sorry Liz for late reply thank you-i told a friend of mine when we had dinner about Ducatti's Night of terror and she told everyone at the LFS, at first i was embrassed-when ppl started to ask but when they gave me a get well card with a fish on the front and everyone signed it, It was so cool...I know Im a fish geek. Any way I got the towels off to day and he seems to be ok-also i wiped the glass(1st time since it happened) and he seemed very calm and comfurtable with me in there- i also got him to eat some shrimp- I made sure to get smaller pieces so he wouldnt have such a hard time with it- Just glad he did eat- but i got the best pics i could he still dont like the camera-something about silver things....Go!!! Figurer!!!...

this is what his jaw looks like try to see his lip-see the chunk gone...=( Hurts me...i could reall get the scratches or gashes to show in any pics-they have healed up well....N NO Infection...Thank god for Salt, U/V and overfiltration....
i will do a big water change 2marrow as long as he stays cool...He dont normaly like the syphon altho he dont mind my hand or arm,sometimes will rubb both

It hurts me to look at your boy..:( very sad to see him like this ..but i know he will be okay... it just may not heal up perfect but it will heal and to me that would be all that mattered.. he is eating and that is music to my ears because with a wound on his face like this u just don't know what internal injuries could have occured ..but he is eating that means everything structure wise is sound... thank goodness.how sweet of them to give you a card.. he is a fine boy and really have to be content that you were lucky he will be okay.. yes keep up those water changes and salt and all good little treats ...
 
Thanks Liz- he made it a hole day/night with no problem and no cover-Im going to go get some tubing and I will cutit to wrap the edges so that there are no more sharp edges like that on that top-maybe that'll help. but still with those type of cuts i doubt itll help now-but i will do it anyway...

i was glad he ate cause i was afread that he wouldnt be able to and that he would die,
thanks

Just make sure to do extra water changes because that will make a world of difference in healing fast and no infections.. your welcome
 
Just wanted to update a bit on my buddies condition-he is doing really well. he seems to be back in the swing of things he has been swimming all over and being very active. eating and messing with the O' when he isnt looking.lol. So I think that, the recovery will go well- the front has no red or pink. So im please about that, hopefully the lip just fills in over time.
