If your goldfish is diagnosed with fin rot then please either treat it with the appropriate medication, put it into a proper habitat/quarantine tank if it isn't already. If you can not or will not do this then find a humane way to euthanize it. Do not flush it down the toilet as it can spread disease.

It depends on the health of the fish prior to infection and rather the water conditions that caused the problem have been corrected. Anywhere from a few days to over a week, but they will not survive if corrective isn't taken.
