It became apparent…that my guppy had fish TB…I think…O.O
I couldn’t risk the health and safety of my family, especially because I’m soon to work in a public health environment…So I decided to do what was the best for my family, and also probably the best possible decision for my guppy as well…
I didn’t flush her down the toilet or anything…I thought that was inconsiderate and heartless…after all, I did have her for more than 2 months…and we kinda really developed a relationship…
She was barely moving at all when I got my best friend to take her out of the water in a plastic spoon…
I prepared a sandwich bag lined with "Snuggle” tissue and we put her in the bag and sealed it…
She didn’t move at all through the process…
Which ensured me even more, that my decision was probably the best for everyone…
I wrote a note that said: “dead fish inside…R.I.P” and stapled it onto the bag…then…the bag was tossed in the garbage…O.O
For the reason of contamination, I decided not to flush her down the toilet (since we don’t know if fish TB is transmittable through water as a vector…and for the same reason I didn’t want to bury her…)
I ignored the suggestion of taking last pictures of my guppy, because I thought she deserved her privacy as she took her last “breaths” and that it was WAY too emotional for me to look at her or the bag that she was in…>.<
Anyway…I’m sincerely hoping that whatever she died from…(which presumed was fish TB,) that I will not be affected by it…considering I need to be soon tested for TB as a condition of working in a hospital…
God bless us all??!!
That’s all….*sigh*
