I forget who it was. In chat early this morning someone mentioned a sick tetra (swim bladder). I have a Danio that has that and seems to have been getting spinabifita.
Got me thinking about trying to save a sick fish. We all want to try to nurse that sick fish back to health. But at the same time got me wondering if the fish is suffering.
It's easier to tell if our land based pets are suffering. You can hear whimpers and stuff like that.
At what point do we flush the fin-folk? In trying to nurse a sick one back to health are we actually causing suffering by prolonging it's life?
Up until the other member said something about his sick fish I never gave a though to a suffering fish being nursed back to health.
