Remember a few months ago when I reported my treatment "cure" for my big
Severums popeye? Someone posted about their vet puncturing around the eye
socket with a syringe to bring down the pressure. I tried it myself, and he
was perfect in everyway in a couple of weeks. Well guess what? It's back,
and worse than ever! He was fine for months. Anyone have a guess as to why?
Maybe just plain old age, and the puncture was temporary?

Isn't this a case of removing a symptom, not the cause? We take an
anspirin to lower fevers, but that doesn't remove the cause. My best
guess. Doctoring involves a lot of trial and error.


Yes, but it's the symptom that causes the fish so much trouble. In my
experience removing the symptom of popeye is permanent. Repeat
infections should be addressed separately.
