My lfs has a lima, just over a foot. Dropped off with it's snout bent straight up just past the eyes....the whole snout. I need the cat experts to tell me if this is fixable, is the cat saveable? If so, I will most likely try to get it before the store owner puts it down, which he said he will most likely do.
 
Imma have to say "NO" on this one.
 
I've had bent Lima nose that never corrected itself, otherwise the fish was healthy and eating.
 
pix?
 
Sorry, I didn't get any pics while I was there. Necrocanis gave me a little info that pretty much made up my mind. Where the bend/break is, it's a bad spot. Guess I'll leave him there.
