Question
We have a large outdoor pond.  I have a large fancy goldfish with scoliosis.  She managed to get into the pond filter and her large tail is in schreds.  Is she ok, or in pain?  I do not want to get rid of her, she is a part of the family and my Grandson has her named.  Please advise.  Thanks, Nola

Answer
Nola,                                                        Sorry didn't get back to you sooner. Comp crash. You goldies scoliosis was caused by a vitamin C defficiency.I think you should direct this question to pond expert robyn rhudy. He probably could use a little antibiotic, but I have no idea about medicating a large pond. Good Luck... I am sure he will be fine goldies are very resilient. ,Tina
