I think that he has that disease that you both mentioned, 'dropsy',
because on his left side, unlike the more rounded fat right side, there
is a pronounced rounded point besides the bulge like on the right side.
I have placed him in a one gallon container right next to where I am
sitting, where I spend most of my time, so that I can keep an eye on
him. He seems to be a bit lethargic, but he has a history of being
somewhat a couch potato. Any more suggestions on what I should do would
be appreciated. Pax Vobiscum,...~Dean.
