Yes, many thanks. Especially since this comes up in forums repeatedly, you have been very patient!
My question is:
Is there a good way to tell if some got in the pouch? With the fighting and twisting, I'm not sure.
Also, when I inserted the catheter, sometimes it just seemed like putting a straw to closed lips. It may seem that I inserted it far enough, but when I try to look in or spread open the entry, I don't see a clear way into the pouch.
Is this correct?
Just in case I need to do this again.
Today he seems to not have the bouyancy problems as displayed earlier. I haven't seen him eat, but I have watched him hone in on some mysis, but hesitates and does not eat yet.
Update on the vets:
Although I was able to get 1 tablet of Diamox. (my precious) Still no veterinarian wants to touch this once I mention seahorse.
The senior vet at the Shedd Aquarium got back to me, and he was very apologetic that he couldn't be of more help. He stated although his expertise is marine mammals, he is not well equipped to offer advise. He hoped I would be able to get someone to prescribe the Diamox, but he couldn't say if that would remedy the problem since this condition is still not well understood. He also offered to give me contact info for a colleague that may be able to offer some more advice.
Very nice person that he even took some time out of his busy schedule to get in touch with me.
