My fish jumped out of tank and bled. What else can I do to help?

Question

My gold saum jumped out of her tank this morning. I heard her hit the floor it’s a 4 ft drop. I immediately put her back inside. But I noticed blood droplets on the floor. I put aquarium salt and stress coat in the tank. She’s acting normal now I’m just wondering if there’s anything else I can do. Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish | Female | unspayed | 1lb

Hi, I’m glad Maxi made it through that ordeal! It sounds like you acted promptly and appropriately. Salt and stress coat are the perfect first step, short of an exam by a veterinarian. Since she’s acting normally, I would keep a close eye on her activity, body symmetry, and appetite. If in doubt, or you notice any changes in her regular patterns or attitude, don’t hesitate to take her to your vet. Good job acting so fast to save her!
