Nick has a sick Goldfish

About a year ago Nick's Uncle Danny got him a fish tank. He has had only 1 death and it was of natural causes. For $1.99 each you get what you pay for. Really Nick does not do a thing with the tank except once in a while he'll feed them and help Eddie change the water. The Fish (they don't have names, Nick calls them "the fish") have really been Sheba's, the cat. She watches them for hours. Fast forward to tonight. I noticed that one of the fish has what I called a pimple. We called uncle Danny and he told us our fish has an Ulcer.



Treatment: shots of antibiotics from a vet.

How do you explain to a 2 year old the fact that one of his fish is sick and you can't make it better and it needs to go away?

Sad, but a small pimple might get bigger but it might just heal. I would just let it be, if it gets ugly you can still give the fish too much food and it will die naturally. It will not going to infect you guys, will it? We have had one for 3 years.

I can't imagine taking the fish to get shots!
