In my opinion, if it's dropsy there isn't much hope so treat for 
constipation .. feed the fish a few peas (just the mushy center part) 
then don't feed it for a few days. Hopefully one day the fish will just 
suddenly be much thinner. Even if that happens, hold off from feeding 
for another couple days to let the intestines heal then start smalllll 
feedings, preferably more peas.
