Are there any koi keepers out there who have expereinced dropsy in their koi collections over the past year?

Genuine dropsy with the bloated bodies and pine cone scales.

If so - a further question: was the dropsy confined to a single koi or did you find dropsy in several koi? Even if this occured over time. (they did not all have to get dropsy at the same time).
