dwarf seahorse floating

[YoCamron]

i have 4 dwarf seahorses that came in yesterday. 2 of them are floating, i know that when bigger seahorses are floating its due to air bubbles in their pouches... if i were try to help these guys out it feels like they would snap in half LoL. any suggestions?

Did you get any help for the horse? Are they still around? I actually don't know what to do for a dwarf that needs a pouch evac, because as you said, they are small. I'll ask a friend what they have been doing for this type of horse.

She said she has of some people doing a pouch evac, but she has no idea how they did that with the horses being so small. The only other treatment is medicating with Diamox. She says it tends to happen more frequently with dwarfs and sometimes they can recover spontaneously.

Also with these guys being so small, their reserves are small. I don't know if you could treat it before it became exhausted.
