Dropsy can only be treated on the earlier stages. But you can try a few things even now. First of all, try to find out whether it is acute dropsy, or chronic dropsy. Chronic dropsy is hard to cure. Cancer or parasites might be involved in chronic dropsy. Acute dropsy is caused by bacteria. This is comparatively easy to cure.
Now to treat you fish for acute dropsy, keep it in a separate tank. Keep the water temperature around 82 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Don't use aquarium salt. Go for Epsom salts, which will help the fish lose its extra body water. Add 1/4 teaspoons of Epsom salts per 10 gallons of water.

It might be swim-bladder disease it depends whether it is just motionless or has its belly sticking up.
Try feeding it mushy peas. :)
