Definitely myxy I'm afraid. Best to despatch it yourself or have it done humanely if vet will do it.  |

Probably not much you can do, short of gritting your teeth and putting it out of its misery. As far as I know, myx isn't treatable.
Welcome to the forum, btw.

Some do recover naturally but I don't know how bad they get before they start to recover...... and I don't know how much I could let one suffer to see..... |
