Place in a hospital tank with a tonic salt, this will minimise osmostic stress on the fish. If the kidney can not regulate the normal level of fliud in the body then dropsy can increase to the whole fish.

Dropsy can be caused by many things, virus, bacteria or physiological disfunction, however, usually its bacterial.
Treat with some anti-internal bacteria and try to raise the water temp to 20oC
