Often owners of aquariums notice that at one of small fishes an eye is blown up and grows turbid. First of all they begin to suspect a trauma or an infection whereas swelling and turbidity of eyes at fishes most often is an ekzoftalmiya symptom. What the disease is?
Pucheglaziye
In the presence a pucheglaziya, turbidity of an eye and emergence in it of blood, the small fish can diagnose safely an ekzoftalmiya – the disease which is symptom of internal pathology which is caused by state of environment or pathogenic microorganisms. Distention of an eye is caused by a liquid congestion in an eyeball or behind it. The viral, system bacterial or fungal infection and also violation of intra physiological processes can be its reasons.If the ekzoftalmiya is caused by a system infection, at a small fish symptoms of this infection at the same time can be noted. The major contributing factor for development of an ekzoftalmiya most often is the low-quality water in an aquarium having improper biochemical structure. It negatively influences osmotic regulation and other processes, causing an ekzoftalmiya in fishes. In most cases this disease is treated by chemical medicines, however improvement of water quality can help to avoid drug treatment.
Treatment of an ekzoftalmiyaAt a pucheglaziya and turbidity of an eyeball at a small fish it is necessary to establish and remove the causes of emergence of an ekzoftalmiya. If the sick small fish has no symptoms of a parasitic or pathological disease, so the problem in the environment – for example, is the reason water quality in an aquarium or its chemical composition. Timely elimination of the cause of an ekzoftalmiya in a small fish will allow to prevent permanent injury or loss of an eye. If indicators of quality of aquarian water and its chemical composition are in the range, optimum for fishes, it is all the same necessary to change partially water in an aquarium each several days. Filling-up about one third of fresh water instead of similar quantity of old, will allow to cure sick fishes completely. On disappearance of a tumor and return of an eyeball to a normal look after acceptance of all necessary measures about a week can leave. If parasites are the reason of an ekzoftalmiya, it is possible to add 20 drops of the medicine "Malachite Green" which are previously dissolved in 100-200 ml of water to an aquarium. It is necessary to pour in the received solution in the small portions in water, and 5 days later to replace its half in an aquarium with clean. If necessary it is necessary to repeat the procedure and to keep fishes in water with solution on an extent of 5 days. Medicine can also be removed from water by means of activated carbon.
