I still don't think it looks like dropsy. Did you stop feeding him for a few days?

YOW O_O THAT IS SERIOS BLOCKAGE Dropsy is when the whole body is like that and nmot just the stomach, he also would have been dead by now >< ouchie what a blockage..hm.... what other things can you try... First I would leave it for a few more days, as long as hes not showing that he's starving o-o
I've had some pictures for a long time of one who ingested gravil by mistake, the person took him to one of those new fishie vets that are poping up everywhere, ask your local vet if he proffesses in fish ? o.o other then that I have no idea what to do other then watch for gasping" a motor mouth" or try to get some mush pumpkin into a net and see if he's interested in laping it, a teaspoon of that is abit much, but let him nibble it for a minute or two and some of that bloat blockage should go down.
Also dropsy is raised scales and no apatite o_o that most defenetly is surly not dropsy O_O I havent seen this in 4 years..
I would think it's swim bladder, but he wouldint be abil to be in that possision if it was... wow.

Maybe I should have used a pea for my betta , he got sevearly blouted every now and then ^^; I'm glad yours is doing okay, ganna have a jumping fishie for awhile though =D cause he'll be in the mood for bubble nesting after a week of such a huge bellie!! Good lukc little guy =3
And nin, I hope your co workers betta does okay o.o it should work ^^; but being over a week of working on it they may need to be pashent.

Many people expect things like that to work rigth away " Me included" but when you think about the blockage within the fish o.o it's best to compair it to your own body ^^ So in a way it would be kinda hopless feeling if they gave the pea one day and just a few days laiter its still not working o.o like in this case. You may need to let your co worker know it'll take a little while ^^.
