Please post what sort of wounds the fish has / what is making it be on
the critical list...

Without specific information it is hard for us to give advice.

But, get the fish back into the water (duh). You might want to set up a
tub-to-tub sort of thing. Also may want to add 1 teaspoon aquarium salt
per 5 gallons per day, working up to a total concentration of 3
teaspoons per 5 gallons.

And put a lid on it.

very difficult to treat as cats teeth and claws carry pasturella ... a serious
bacteria. most likely will need injectable antibiotics, but look here for topical
treatment http://users.megapathdsl.net/~solo/p...se/disease.htm
