Hows the sea horse today?

lcstorc · 01-30-2007, 07:19 AM

Well I got one bubble out but his belley is still bloated.
He's a tough little guy that's for sure. I'll try again tonight and hopefully we can get it all out, He still hasn't eaten that I am aware of though he could be getting at pods etc when I am not looking. I doubt it, but it is possible.
I just keep hoping and try to make him as comfortable as possible.

The vision of burping a seahorse is overwhelming! Lynn, karma to you! I hope everything goes well.

Craig Manoukian · 01-30-2007, 01:15 PM

Atta girl Lynn!

billyr98 · 01-30-2007, 04:50 PM

Go Lynn!!! Saving one seahorse at a time!!

aquaman3680 · 01-30-2007, 04:53 PM

Awesome Lynn... One thing that worked well for me with seahorses, as far as environment is concerned, is calurpa algae. It is nice and strong for the horses to hitch on... how big is the guy?

Good luck

Matt

lcstorc · 01-30-2007, 05:58 PM

He's about 5 inches long and still hanging in there. I have tons of hitches for him many of which have been in the tank with him a long time. He just lies on his side unless I am at the tank. When I appear he uprights himself and wraps around my finger so I can rub his belly. It obviously seems to give him some relief so I'll keep at it.

Lynn... I keep checking for updates on your pony. I am so glad that he has you to take care of him. A lot of people would have given up by now. I am still hopeful that you can pull him through this. Again, Good Luck!

bluespotjawfish · 01-30-2007, 08:18 PM

He loves you! So precious! I guess you have me beat. I can't think of anything in my tank that would let me burb them, not even Bluespot. Kudos for your efforts - keep up the good work!

Mr Bojangles · 01-30-2007, 08:28 PM

glad to here that he is skill kicking, have you tried garlic soaked food for him yet?

lcstorc · 01-31-2007, 11:42 AM

All the food is garlic soaked here. LOL I've tried cyclopeze as well which usually he will eat, but his pouch is still so bloated. He is still hanging in so I am as well. We are both putting up a major fight to see him through this.

Dentoid · 01-31-2007, 07:00 PM

Lynn, is it possible that he is carrying babies or eggs?

lcstorc · 01-31-2007, 10:30 PM

No. He's been alone for several months. This afternoon and tonight he did not want me to touch him. I doubt he will make it till morning. I think it started as a bubble but has now turned into an infection or something other than just the air that was originally in his pouch. If he is still hanging in there in the morning, I am going to disconnect the seahorse tank from the reef and try antibiotics.
Thanks for the good thoughts everyone. I will keep trying as long as he can hold on.

Dentoid · 01-31-2007, 10:36 PM

So sorry to hear that. I hope he pulls through.

saltwaterfarm · 01-31-2007, 10:37 PM

We all know you are doing all you can... good luck. again, I applaud your efforts.
