Alrighty... so I went out 3 days ago and got my betta some anti-bacterial food since it seemed as though the tetracycline treatment didn't help.
I got all the tetracycline out of the tank before I started to feed the betta the food and I think it's making my betta sicker.
I'm giving it the food b/c of a large fluid filled bump under it's skin.
But now the bump appears to have a pinkish tinge to it as if some of that fluid is now blood. I can't tell if it's gotten bigger, but I wouldn't doubt if it has.
Also since feeding him the food, he's been very weak. He still comes up to eat and still checks out his little part of his tank, but he lays around alot and is breathing a bit heavily.
I've been feeding him 4 pellet meds a day. 2 when I wake up and 2 right before lights out in the tank.

Should I totally stop with the medicated food? Or should I feed him less?
 
Not good i'm afraid.
I would prepare for the worst, so sorry.
