I just wanted to update everyone on the Koi I wrote in about 5 or 6 weeks
ago that had suddenly been paralyzed. He was motionless at the bottom of
the pond. He only had use of his pectoral fins and nothing else. We moved
him to a small preformed pond and had to hand feed him for the first 2
weeks. He slowly started to regain use of his fins from front to back.
After 3 weeks we came out 1 day and found him able to hold himself upright
again, but still had great difficulty trying to swim. He would just roll
upside down. Over the last week or so, he drastically improved and began
swimming around much easier and looking for food. Sunday we moved him back
into the main pond. He still looks a little funny when he swims, but he is
swimming with all the fish and eating and just looks happy to be back with
the others. It is hard to imagine that just a few weeks ago this fish was
motionless lying on his side unable to move.
