Pop Eye or Infection!!!

[Fishnthehood]

Okay ... my Texas hybred jumped or was chased out the tank a few days ago. I was able to pick it up from the floor and place it back in the tank. The next day I noticed that it's face started to well and has been worse daily. So I moved it to my hospital tank and it appears tp slowly be getting better with some additional of salt and a temp bump.Below are some shots of the injuried side and the side that is cool.

Thoughts

could be just eye injury from the fall......just keep a close eye on it...use the salt and temps to heal it...maybe some melafix if ya got it around( or stress coat does good for wounds too. ....but if the swelling starts and gets worse...then be check into pop eye treatments....but it should just clear up.

Yeah hopefully its just the injury from the fall. A decent sized fish like that would prolly recieve some damage if it jumped. You will know soon enough. Good luck

Will do I'm hoping he or she heals. It was a pretty fish before it was chased or jumped.
