I am very fortunate to have one close by and a good one at that. She was wonderful with Wendy. I transported her in a 5 gal bucket with a portable aerator. We are in the middle of a snow/wind storm here so it was an adventuresome journey. Wendy "weathered" the trip well. I was more nervous than she was! She is a big gal so the bucket was the only way to go.

And for those of you who i know are dying to know the cost of a fish doctor... Here is an itemization of the bill:

On site fish exam; $49.70
skin scraping/gill snip; $19.64
Cytology/fluid-in hospital; $15.05
Baytril injectable; $10.00
Cyst-drain; $15.00
Radiograph 8x10; $76.13
2 doses prazipond; $8.00
MS222 fish anesthesia 1/2 hour; $25.00

All of the above were discounted to the price shown. Total discount $86.91
Total price paid $218.52
Wendy's well being...priceless. I love that fish!!!!!
