It’s been 48 hours since it happened and the eye looks slightly cloudy. She is too big for this tank but its better for her as she can only swim gently in here and shes eating fine. I have only used “tap safe” as most of my meds are either out of date or not specific for this kind of injury.
She is now in a 21 litre (6 gal) hospital tank with a filter and im doing 50% to 80% water changes daily to keep the tank water extra clean. She was sat on the bottom of the tank gasping! I whisked her out and put her back in a fresh jug of tank water. I was checking on her literally every few minutes so it can’t have been out long. However with her being a fantail and obsessed with food she must have knocked her eye and it fell out again. All seemed ok but she was obviously unhappy about being in a jug so i put her back in the tank with her pals and she was fine for about 3 hours. (I used a photo later to check i had the eye the correct way around) I gave her a little salt dip and left her to rest in the jug for about an hour. She went into shock (as did i) and stayed very still and calm as i gently pushed her eye back into the socket. It was still attatched at the optic nerve and i managed to net her and pop her in a small jug of tank water. Please can anyone help me? I had a terrible accident in which my favourite goldfish (who i have had for 9 years) swam past the syphon at the exact wrong moment resulting in her eye being ripped from its socket.
