problem with kohaku

Hi Everyone,
I have this kohaku for over a year now. Three months ago. I took a photo of her she was fine. A month ago she started swimming funny. I need expert advise.

Hi Nancy, Good morning. I tubbed her last night. Started feeling her belly some part was kinda hard and some part soft. I feel so bad looking at her while she swimming.

We had one like that and finally had to put her down.

Sorry, Michael -- that sucks.

Looks like a tumor....Unless you want to do surgery on her, I think it is better off putting her down.

i've heard some say, inject steroid at the tumor could help.
but this need to be x-ray to see the exact location and position of tumor.
may be the vet could tell us more.

I'm sure you made the right decision.

Even so, I'm sure it wasn't easy. So sorry.
