Help! I think my puffer is toast

[harley3ky]

Came home from work and it looks like his intestines are coming out his butt

 

[JohnnyHildo]

oh wow.
i'm sorry to say it but i'm going to have to agree with you on that man. i've seen bloat cause the anus to mound but i can't say i've ever seen a full prolapse like that.

 

[SaltySully]

Damn, yeah I don't think it will make it. May have got sucked into a PH?

I would expect that he is in A LOT of pain. Personally, I would humanely dispatch the animal.

I did. Losing a fish never really bothered me that much before but this one really sucked. :sad2:

I didn't notice any issues last night and I did a big water change after I got the puffer out. This morning everyone seemed fine before work. I am hoping it was just a freak thing with the puffer.
