my fish was sick for a while, and i have tried all the medicine with no luck ( but at least it didn't get any worse)

but i'm out of town now, and my fish babysitter said it got worse.

is there any vet ( around sfbay area ) that i can tell him to bring the fish to for some professional treatment????
 
hmmm the closest pacific science center is in santa cruz , dunno if my babysitter can go that far x__x so what do i do? bring the fish to them and they'll keep it and heal it for me?
 
I hope you see this... go to this site which is a search engine for aquatic vets.

Put in your state, then be sure to check "Ornamental Aquatic Animals", then "Private Clinical Veterinary Medical Practice". A list of about two dozen vets will come up (sorry, I couldn't find a way to link directly to that page). Click on the clinic name to the right of each vet's name and it will give you the exact address. Hopefully there's someone in your area.

Edit:
It looks like this one is closest to SF.

Call them and ask if he'll see your fish. Be sure to ask for a rough cost estimate prior to going. Exotic veterinary medicine is not cheap.
 
alright thank you !!!
seems like theres one in castro valley, berkeley and san francisco . i'll call em and hopefully they can save my fish x_x
its all worth it if they can save the fish's life.
 
some type of disease on the cheek plate. as well as some pimple looking thing on forehead and the lateral line.
i've treated with salt , pimafix, heat, bcgx , clout , furan 2 , bifuran, praxipro and a bunch more with no positive result . water changed as often as i could ( sometimes daily) .... now that i'm out of town i can't tell my fishsitter to do that much so i just have to find a trustable vet for him to bring the fish to / have the vet go n take a look at the fish.
 
Good luck. The vet will want to know detailed information about your water quality history, the medications you've used, diet, all that stuff. If you can provide that via fax or phone I'm sure that'll save him/her a lot of time in diagnosing the problem.
