Try isolating the fish in a separate tank or large tupperware tub, with an
aerator to provide oxygen, .....
==================
And watch the AMMONIA soar.

You can control the ammonia level by either putting a small filter in the tub
with ammocarb, or do partial water changes every couple of days. I've not had a
problem with doing this. If the fish isn't eating, it certainly isn't
defacating.
