I would think unfertilized eggs would have fungused and fallen off by now . sometimes prolapsed tissue will look blistered as the muscle around the vent cuts off circulation . I have had to manually repair prolapse in frogs, parrots and swine . some are as easy as pushing the tissue back in but if the muscle around the vent is too stretched or torn , a purse string suture is needed .   #4 Duck Total Posts : 466 Scores: 8 Reward points : 465 Joined: 12/14/2010 Location: Barrow in Furness, Cumberland Status: offline MBI: 760 Pnts MBI Site: Marinefish-uk.co.uk Re:Can anyone tell me what this is?

It only appeared today.   #5 KathyL Total Posts : 2639 Scores: 13 Reward points : 1504 Joined: 6/6/2010 Location: St. Louis, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 1605 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Can anyone tell me what this is? Thursday, January 5, 2012 11:34 AM (permalink) 0 So its a week after the last spawn? It could be eggs, if your temperature is high, but it could be the prolapse as above.   #6 Duck Total Posts : 466 Scores: 8 Reward points : 465 Joined: 12/14/2010 Location: Barrow in Furness, Cumberland Status: offline MBI: 760 Pnts MBI Site: Marinefish-uk.co.uk Re:Can anyone tell me what this is? Thursday, January 5, 2012 4:37 PM (permalink) 0 I am treating her with Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) bath for 20 minutes a day. Apparently fw breeders use this method all the time and swear by it. Don't have much choice but to give it a go and see what happens.   #7 Chelle's Ocean Total Posts : 399 Scores: 0 Reward points : 242 Joined: 8/14/2010 Location: Inverness, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Captive Reefs.com Re:Can anyone tell me what this is?

Thursday, January 12, 2012 7:27 PM (permalink) 0 I agree, looks like a prolapse (maybe ovary or cloaca).  Only treatment would have been to invert back in and hope it stayed there, and I don't know how you would have managed that on something as small as a clown.  She would have been finished for breeding.  Sorry for you loss.   #11 Chelle's Ocean Total Posts : 399 Scores: 0 Reward points : 242 Joined: 8/14/2010 Location: Inverness, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Captive Reefs.com Re:Can anyone tell me what this is?
