Is there a community for asking questions about pet symptoms? Maybe a place where vets share advice?

I already go to my local vet with our dogs when needed but we have no vets for aquatic animals here and I could use some advice about an issue some of my fish have.

I could imagine though that it could also be a good place to share experiences and advice about more obscure issues for any pet, like SLO in dogs. We got a diagnosis from the vet, but a lot more advice online about it.

For your fish, maybe try [email protected]

I'm already there but I feel my question about swim bladder issues may be a bit too niche, ezpecilly when I've covered the basic treatment of raising temps, treatment with salt and flushing their systems with peas after starving them for a few days.

Well, the only way you'll know if it's too niche is by asking and seeing what the responses are. If posting on lemmy doesn't get you enough information, you might try posting on reddit, they bring the information back here tob possibly help others in similar situations. I mean, I've left reddit, but if my cat's health was potentially at risk, I'd ask anyplace I could get a decent answer.

I'll give it a try

I had some decent communities on reddit and Facebook but I too have deleted my account on reddit and haven't used Facebook since they asked for payment for untargeted ads

I may go back in if needed but I believe that there are a few discord communities too that are quite active and knowledgeable
