praices

HI, A week ago I found my red cap oranda trapped on the filter and between two rocks (freshwater backyard pond). It was hard to pull him out from there. He seemed to have his cap crushed too. He is floating on his side since then. His belly looks swollen. Doesn't seem to get better. What can I do? is there any hope for him?
Please help me ASAP. thank you so much.

if you have a QT tank or container, about the only thing i can offer is prestine water, stress coat + , fish protector and vita chem to help him feel better...I hope he makes it!!!!

You may want to try melafix. It works fairly well on general injuries for goldfish. He will need to be kept in the cleanest water possible. If you have a 20 gallon to use as a quarantine (or even a 10 gallon as long as you keep it clean). If he is going to make it, he will need a chance to heal without worrying about predators or even other fish. Good luck!
