What To Do For An Injured Eye.

[PlecMama]

hi ho, one of my bala's seems to have slight damage to his eye, like he's scraped it against something.

Have not seen any Oxytetracycline round here, you think the pet shop keep it? I know it won't fix the scrape but it would stop it getting infected wouldn't it. Well, maybe.

Keep the water very clean to help prevent the wound getting infected.

melafix is great for external wounds

Try some melafix first, as that antibiotic will wipe the bacteria colony out in the filter if you medicate in the main tank.
Good luck.

I meant to say "vet", not Pet Shop back there too...that's where I haven't seen the Oxy. What a dimwit.
