Subject: Re: Weird string of unrelated issues? Help with goldfish treatment by fcmf on 22/5/2020 23:29:35 Sorry to read about this deterioration (and the pressure from your partner which has essentially led to this!). All very mysterious. I'm probably 35% oriented towards seeing if it resolves the issues in the spare tub minus medication (which might help us establish the nature of it such as involvement of stress hormones) and 65% minded towards taking the risk and medicating again given the extent of deterioration, then try to establishthe degree to which different factors are involved. If you do proceed with the medication now, then please emphasise to your partner that the fish will need to stay in this isolation tank during that AND afterwards for a fortnight to see how the situation evolves - just as important to maximise recuperation and work out what's going on as the medication stage. By then, the other antibiotic should have arrived and you can make a decision whether to treat with that at that stage or return the fish to the main tank one by one. Hope that sounds a sensible plan. |
