newfisher Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 THANK YOU NNEWHOUSE!!!!! I'm in the hospital with my Dad in Everett WA and my wife calls me to say that our male, baby spitting, seahorse is bloated and floating on his side at the top of the tank. This is something he did just before we left for Sandiego two weeks ago. Back then I monitored him, spot fed and he was bak to normal the day we left. Nnewhouse and wife heather, who also have seahorses, were with my wife tonight and though the malelooked like he had Gas Bubble Disease. Based on their description I quickly googled and found internal gas bubble disease and pouch emphysema. I described the procedure and sent the link to my wife. If left untreated, this will do internal damage to the horse and he will quickly die. They qt'd him, expressed his pouch manually and whalla! Happy Horse! He is now swimming freely and hitched with his buddies at the bottom of the tank. Thanks again Nick! Perfect timming and you make a wonderfull Seahorse EMT.

nnewhouse Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 That's crazy!! I am glad they are such a help!! Bravo Newhouse!! I heard heather is the one that actually did it! LOL!! Clay Actually it took all three of us. Jess held the flashlights, Heather opened him up with the ear ring, and I held him still while pushing on his belly. It was the weirdest thing I have every experienced. We opened him up and pushed on his belly and lots and lots of bubbles came out. I hope he gets better. Jon, that's the last time we come over to watch a movie. We show up and are immediately put to work. Jk buddy! Anytime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
