Goldfish surgery removing lump growth and how to make a fish band aid

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 มิ.ย. 2016
- Dr Loh removes a lump from this goldfish and explains why its important to try to remove them early before they grow too large, and he shows you how to make a fish band aid to help prevent infections. Lumps that are left on goldfish can continue to grow to larger size and become more vascularised, meaning that it can be more difficult or even impossible to stop bleeding if you try to remove lumps after they have been left to grow too large.

Thanks for saving the lives of these fishes Dr. Richmond, I admire you! Fish needs a hero
Love your videos. Thanks for documenting and sharing your work. Very fascinating.
Stumbled upon your channel through the goldfish eye removal vid. Subscribed the second that vid was over. This is a really awesome channel. You don't really ever see a vet that takes care of fish. Good on you man. I have a needlenosed "gar" in my aquarium named Gilly Nelson. It's technically not a true gar but a fresh water needle fish. Since they (gar and the needle nosed "gar") live in the same environment they have evolved very similar camouflage colors. I love my needle nose, it's so cool watching him hunt minnows. Love your channel, Keep up the awesome work.
You are a hero . Also you give so much positivity . If one feels down watches one of those videos feels already better .
Best Fish DOCTOR...
Mali Vilas only Fish DOCTOR... (it’s a joke lol ok don’t wanna sound rude)
Ur way to explain is very nice n polite n ur way to treatment is also very polite u r not like professionals u r like love with ur job
You're so awesome Dr Richmond.🤗
You are amazing, good bless this little fella and you for aiding him 💕❤️
God bless you for the work you do!!👌
Wow, absolutely amazing
My goldfish is over 3 years old and just started growing a tumor, i was scared that there was no such thing as fish doctors, and this gave me hope. I have hope that my fish will survive.
I think that the type of skin that is on a tumor is susceptible to infection, you might want to keep your tank as clean as you can and maybe add a little salt to your water. This is just a thought, maybe do some research!
You amaze me like no other.
U r the best fish doctor
9:04 imagine having your fish being operated on, and you smell him cooking from the next room.
Being both a fish owner and seafood fan, I would be confused by my appetite.
@@lalaithan same here
🤣😂
Useful video 👍
10:54 I couldnt help but laugh when the fish ungracefully dropped like a stone to the bottom
Hey Doctor, I'm new to your channel and have been looking into your video. Being a fish owner myself, I just wanted to say amazing work on the videos! Keep up the great work! I do have one question, if you do surgery for other people's fish, how can I contact you/how much do you usually charge?
I'm so happy to come across your video. Up until now, I was so worried about my goldfish. I had now idea what was worng with it. Somthing is growing out of him and it keeps getting worst. So I Google it, still not knowing exactly what to look for or how to word it. Finally, he has what it seems to be an anchor worm. How can i really get rid of it? And can this infect my other fish? I would really appreciate your help, thanks.
My fish has had a lump for about 2 months and yesterday when I was cleaning up the tank he ripped it open and it looks like white yellow tissue in some parts but I really dont know what to do
I have a smallish goldfish, about 5CM long. She had what i suspect to be a tumour growing in her abdomen, which is pushing out both sides. She isn't eggbound as I've been trying to manually express her for a week now and it hasn't moved nor changed.
I live in Perth, and was wondering if it would be worth calling yourself out to do this if the tumour is indeed right in the middle of her abdomen? What would the survival rate be, or would she survive a surgery to that depth?
hey doc.question. my goldfish scales are falling off.why could that be
Good old mate Bruce im sure he will be ok
Dr. Loh I have a goldfish have a big white bump on it's forehead what can I do?
My blood parrot has a huge growth on her side that developed over the past two weeks. She is about 7 inches long but the lump is about 1.5 inches and there is also a smaller one under it about 1 cm. It seems to be growing from the inside (doesnt look like the one in this video). Any thoughts on what it could be or what I can do about it? It looks almost as if removing it would be impossible.
I'm training myself in fish care/vet
Were would u be able to purchase the cauteriser? I've got everything else including a bresser biolux microscope
What is the average yearly salero for a fish doctor if you don't mind me asking ?
it's a niche profession, but I doubt he just do it for fish alone, probably a vet at well
hey dr, what is the gel tha tyou use in the end that you put on layers?? is there any diy gel to put on the fish wound ???
thanks!
It's probably Orahesive powder on top of the Betadine.
Its fish bandaid available on his website.
Dr. Richmond how do I contact you to determine if my fish are dying from toxicity in a new pond liner? Liner was installed 7 days ago I've been in the pond business for 30 plus years.
Hello doc my fish scalaire gave a bump on it left side what can i do please
I am very impressed I have an African cichlid giraffe that's 6 1/2 inches, my baby has a little bigger than a dollar piece, please doc I need your help
hi, for how long can a fish be anesthetized?
Hi Dr. Loh, is there any over the counter substitution products oxytetracyline that I can use at home since my goldfish has a bump on his side as well. We dont have a fish doctor here in Canada. Thanks a lot!
If you check out Tumblr or Google "goldfsh forum", there are a lot of experienced hobbyists who can help you!
Sir My Goldfish back Is like get outside and seeing red too what should I do ? It's back get so big and idk what is that
My goldfish seems to have a tumor on his fin. I was told there wasn't much I could do about it and as long as he was swimming fine it's okay but the bump seems to be taking over the entire fin. He was a feeder goldfish that is now almost five years old. Is it treatable?
Please post a picture of your fish at tinyurl.com/thefishdoctor-facebook so we can have a look.
Can someone please help? I have a goldfish with a growth. There's what looks like a black ball inside. What can I do??
How can it breath out of water?
Awsome video, I have a strange question, a while ago my fish bred and one of the females in the tank lost a fair few scales, after which she has started to develop a lump that looks like a tumour exactly where she lost her scales, the lump seems to be decreasing in size towards the tail but also seems to be protruding further out as it seemingly shrinks, which has been a slow process is it possible that she has scales growing under her skin? I don't think it is a tumour, as a tumour would surely grow and she doesn't appear bothered by it, scales have pushed through and grown back over the lump so I am not sure what it is
To get a better idea of your problem, you may wish to post with pictures or videos in our VISITOR post section on our new Facebook page - tinyurl.com/thefishdoctor-facebook
@@thefishdoctor8746 much appreciated thank you, I will get these posted, thanks again :))
Imagine what the fish is thinking tho
will the fish grow new scales now its got a massive hole now on its side.
Dean Woodward they usually do!
My fish has diarrhea n now she has hole in her belly what should I do
Fish Doctor! It seems that "Fish Bandage" and "Bio-bandage" are off of the market! What is a suitable substitute? Thank you in advance!
Hey Fish Doctor!! Our fancy goldfish "Spot" has a lump up high near his dorsal fin. The lump is the same pigment as the skin that it is growing from, it looks just like "Bruce's" lump. If it does not bother him, will he be ok if it is just left alone? Thanks!!!
If it starts getting bigger, I'd recommend he sees a veterinarian to remove.
Hello Dr Loh. What is that Electric white machine that you used? What does it called and if you know where to get it in US? Also that fish bandage powder I couldn't find it anywhere. Do you know if i can buy it in US?
A portable electrocautery pen. The fish bandage is available from thefishvet.com.au
what on earth is that electric tool called. Looking for it for a totally different reason. brand aside that tool must have a real name other then the cool name you've given it for vet reasons. but being a fish keeper never know if i'd need something like to hand one day for a reason like this. But still could use one for my model making and painting.
What if you dont have the electro thingy what do you use instead
I've used a match in the past, lite it, blow it out then place on bleed to seal it, very lightly. You can get a fish bandage of this site. 🙂
Hi, I need help here in Hong Kong with a fish that (by now) has a big cancer growth in a similar area as the fish in the video. I'd like to help but am not sure of any doctors here that treat fish. Any tips? I really want the fella to survive.
Try contacting City University of Hong Kong
First time watching looked interesting. I have a black bullhead catfish that has a strange growth that is quite large. He usually stays in a fake log and only comes out at night when im asleep to eat. I had seen it awhile ago and it seemed to go away but now is about the size of a small grape. Are there any recommendations I can try? I have no special fish doctors in my state. Thank you😊
With persistence, you may be able to locate a veterinarian who will see your fish. Here's a link to Certified Aquatic Veterinarians - www.wavma.org/CertAqV-Pgm
i adore you
Hi doctor loh I had a goldfish died from Anases thia
My commet goldfish has a rock in his nose and its lodged in there, please let me know what to do, its deeper that it was than yesterday.
Well I found a solution to get it out, but he is too fast to catch and I think it went in further because I cant see the rock anymore...
Use a small straw, suck gently, it should dislodge 👍
I wish you lived near me ...in UK. .I have a small goldfish with lump.
I've a colleague in London. Check out thefishvet.co.uk
Dr., I have a large goldfish which I need to do this lumpectomy on. Can you please type out the names of the anesthesia, and other necessary supplies you show, and list a link where I can purchase this online? Thanks for this helpful information.
Kristine Strasburger surgeries should be done by a registered veterinarian. find a local fish veterinarian using this link www.aquavetmed.info/
The Fish Doctor, Thank you for your reply. I live in a fairly remote area, so that may not be possible for me. What is the most humane way to euthanize a pet fish when needed? My goldfish are larger than your Bruce, and I hate the thought of euthaizing them as a fish caught in the wild for food. If I cannot remove these tumors myself I may need to euthanize this fish.
clove oil is the most humane way to euthanize a fish.
a quick google search will show many links explaining it, but basically you put X amount drops of clove oil into a very small amount of lukewarm water, and shake vigorously so the water turns cloudy (you are trying to mix oil and water)
then adding the clove oil mix to a bucket with just enough water to cover the fish.
the fish will become unconcious within a very short time (belly up) then after a while it will pass away.
Obliv that's what I said, but I think my comment disappeared
Hello sir I just want to know which courses you have studied to become a fish vet.please reply
I completed a veterinary medicine degree from Murdoch University. After that, I did a lot of on the job learning, being mentored by some of Australia's great fish vets, microbiologists and a Master's in Aquaculture student.
my goldfish is staying down not active what should I need to do pls replay

How do fish get Herpes?

Try contacting a veterinarian locally who can help with your fish.
Theirs no way I can get all this stuff to save my dude
Hi doctor can I feed cucumber to a pleco
Prathap reddy surya cucumbers can be part of their varied diet.
My fish has a lump similar on its head could a normal veterinarian cut it off
Through the WAVMA.org, we've been encouraging and recruiting more and more veterinarians to include fish on their practice. For the moment, you'll have to ring around to find one who is comfortable dealing with fish.
are you located in WA
Yes, Perth, Western Australia.
when u put the injection in his bottom fin u pushed on his eye
just found a tumor on my goldfish's head, my dad wont let me do anything to save it. I don't know how much longer my fish has. :(
Earlier intervention usually results in better success, and how soon to act will depend on how quickly the tumour grows. Quite often, tumours are slow growing. On the positive side of things, skin tumours of fish tend to be benign and don't (or rarely) metastasise (spread) - though they can be locally invasive.
@@thefishdoctor8746 Thank you. This was a great, informative video.
Hello Dr., I have one quick question, do these tumors regrow once removed? Thanks, asking on behalf of a vet from Italy.
Naomi Tavian like most tumours, if you can get clear surgical margins, recurrence rate is low.
IT'S NOT A TOMMAHHHH
My grandpas fish as a huge bump its on my channel check it out???
