White Splotches

[Amunet]

Well... I just woke not too long ago, and it appears as though her spots have reduced down some.
There was a spot on her side that's completely gone now.
The big one right after her head is still there, but not as apparent and there was also a spot after that one down her spine that's also not as apparent any longer.

Hope I'm not just seeing things and that the med is really working.

 

[WILDER]

Sounds abit more hopeful.
Keep going with the med, don't cut it to short this time, as it will just all flare back up.
Good Luck.

Yeah We're gonna go out tomorrow to get more meds. Ran out of triple sulfa and I'm almost out of maracyn.

She didn't go clampy as often today but still did it every once in a while.

Those spots are still there, but I do think they're going down some.

Just checked and the one that I said was gone is still gone. Her other spots are still there though.

 

[emmsy]

the very fact that some are going is very encouraging. Keep up with the treatment and I'm sure she will be fine

Welp.. this is the end of the 3rd day of triple sulfa treatment.
So how should I go about continuing the medication?
The instructions say to add in the packet, wait 24hrs, add in another, wait 24hrs, then do a 25% water change, and do the first 2 steps again.
So should I just keep repeating this pattern until her spots clear up or should I give it a certain amount of time. Like say.. 10days or something?

 

[WILDER]

Any improvement, if not a great improvement, I would do a water change and run some black carbon.
Think about using tetracycline or medicatted food which would be far better.

is "splotches" a techincal term?? lol aww i hope she gets better for you soon xxxx

 

[Amunet]

Sorry for not updating.
She is improving I think.
After the triple sulfa treatment. I didn't want to put more meds into the tank since she's still in there with the other fish.
So hesitantly after I had changed the water and waited 2 days.. I started giving her medicated food, and I hope it works.
Her spots have reduced down alot. She still has a few spots, but they're definitly not as apparent as they used to be.
I was afraid to use the medicated food b/c the last time I did, it seemed to have made my fish even more sick, but I took a chance and everything is ok so far.

 

[WILDER]

Ok, good luck.

 

[Amunet]

Well.. I think the medicated food definitely worked. B/c her spots are almost completely gone. You can see where they were very slightly if the light hits her right, but it's not bit while splotches on her any longer.
She still goes clampy every once in a while, but other than that, she's doing great

 

[WILDER]

I would still carry on with the treatment for another five days just to make sure it dosn't come back.
Glad she's on the mend.
