HELP PLEASE - Eggbound Pond Goldfish

Can anyone help me, I have recently lost two large goldfish in my garden
pond. The water is perfect and all seems well in the pond but when I opened
up the last fish it was overflowing with eggs. I now have another
apparantly healthy fish following the same symptoms, very very fat and
drifting tail up but otherwise healthy and feding, this happened to the
other two and they dies within a week. They all bred very succesfully last
year and I have many young in the pond but this year I have not noticed the
males chasing and bumping the females as last year, I therefore conclude
after my amateur autopsy that the fish are becomin eggboung, is there
anything I can do?

Gratful for any assistance.

Regards

Bob

get em inside, http://puregold.aquaria.net/pg/care/care.htm
treat according to "bring them inside" and then run the heat up and treat them as if
for dropsy http://puregold.aquaria.net/pg/disea...ame.htm#dropsy
it is same treatment. injections with baytril are good too.
