You might want to take the fish out and give it a salt bath. If its bad and
you can you might want to take it indoors and put it in a aquarium until it
heals some.

I think one of my goldfish must have been pecked by a heron or an egret a
couple of days ago--it has an ugly wound on its back. I can always tell
when
a big bird has been terrorizing my fish, because they don't come to the
top
glub-glubing for their breakfast. This happened two days in a row, and
the
next day I noticed the injury. I hoped it would heal, but it looks worse
today and the fish is less lively. Is there anything I can do to treat
it?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
