Fish Doc

[Mister Gardener]

My aging Newfoundland took me along with her today for her annual
"senior wellness exam" and ongoing arthritis assessment with her
favorite veterinarian, Katy. The exam went well, and after the dog
talk was finished and the Master Card approved, I asked Katy the vet
if she happened to know any vets in the area that treated fish. Well,
Lo and Behold, Katy has just taken on a new partner who happens to
specialize in fish, among other things. Wonderful! Not many fish
people have easy access to a fish doc 15 minutes up the road.

==================
Lucky you! I wish we had a good fish vet here where every few houses seems
to have a water feature with a few fish.

Hey that is interesting! I had the impression that few vets treated
fish, because fish are cheap and considered disposable by many. Public
aquaria and fish hatcheries might be another story.

When re-entering the hobby a decade or so ago I would gladly have paid a
fish vet to make a house call. The vet would likely have identified new
tank syndrome, excess ammonia and related matters, reducing or
eliminating my fish losses.

Have you any idea how the fish vet is applying his/her fishy specialty?
An on-line ask-the-fish-vet site (for a fee) might be interesting, if
the professional association approves of this kind of thing.

Naw - I haven't even met her yet. I usually associate fish vets with
poking holes in big fish and doing scrapings and biopsies and stuff
like that. They have a hex tank in the waiting room - I left a message
with the receptionist that the kissing gourami needs a much larger
tank and the live plants appear to be deficient in potassium. Just to
let the new fish vet know that someone's watching.
