Seahorse Expert Please!?!?!

I have a seahorse with a small air bubble in his lower abdomen, I have squeezed the air out and he burps for lack of a better term. When I place him back in the water he has bubbles come out of his back area immediately...not his gills or mouth region. All he does is swimn upside down because of this bubble thats how we 1st noticed it. Any info nthat anyone can help me out with would be greatly appreciated. Thanks C.

Argh.. it sucks when seahorses get bubbles.
Usually, the best thing to do is to carefull take him out of the water, (in a container.. don't let him touch the air), and carefully and gently massage it out of the pouch, (where I'm suspecting the bubbles are coming from?)
You could probably find more information on this at seahorses.org.
Good Luck!
