Oh mennn it is very sad to see one of your favorite discuss pass-away, my big white swan dies coz of Hole in the Head desease, i tried to find the the medicine for it but i fail to get one,.. i read that metro is the medicine for it, but most of the Vet that i inquired from does not want to give me one... it is very sad... but what can you do.... do you know where can i get a metro in case this desease come again?

Where you from redmelon?? Don't most pet stores have a form of metro?

Sorry to hear about your favorite fish,, that would be tuff. I almost lost mine a little while back.

How are the rest of your fish?
If you are in the Melbourne area, I may be able to help in the future.

Sorry about your discus.
It's very sad when you lose your fav fish.

Metro is sometimes difficult to get here in Australia

You have to go to the Vet to get it.
Sometimes the vet wont sell it to you unless he/she
have seen the fish.

But if anyone knows a vet that sells metro in Sydneys' South West Area Pls let me know.

Cheers

Mark, In Australia Metro is not allowed to be sold unless by prescription from Vet...

Interesting how things differ from country to country isnt it? :? :roll: :D

[redmelon]

from sydney Liverpool area...
the rest of my fish looks alright but i am not sure with one of my big snake skin, it looks like there is a HITH symptom,... but not sure yet...

Redmelon, none of the vets around your area would prescribe metro?!

[goldfish]

i went to my GP and they wouldnt prescribe it, they all told me the same thing that they would risk getting in trouble. i asked my local vet which i take my dogs and puppies to vaccinate and he gave me a bottle. I guess its who you know and if they trust you well enough.

Redmelon,

I might know a few places in Syd where you can get hold of metro for your fish.
