Betta with bulging eye

[andrewjue82]

Hi all. New to the forum, experienced fish keeper. I have a beautiful betta that was in an aquarium that fell and broke, out of the water for hours, now has a bulging eye lense most likely due to damage that occurred outside the aquarium. Treat it or leave it? If treat, with what?

I would treat him with an antibiotic like Furan2

Another dilema, because my aqaurium broke, the fish is currently in a fat separator lol because thats the biggest container I have to keep him in. Its about 32oz. No heat. No filter. Room temp 72. 2 moss balls. Daily 90+% water changes. I'm trying to get anothet aqaurium as fast as I can so I can implement heat and filtration. Do you think I should still attempt to medicate?

Fortunately it's easy to do water changes, I pour water out of the spout and add clean, conditioned water on top. I dont even have to remove the fish. Changing water couldnt be easier. As far as keeping a betta in a "bowl" its probably the best way to do it. Hahaha although I would NEVER recommend it otherwise.
