They big white patches, when looking straight down they look spikey. Thought flukes possible but fresh water dip did nothing...

She did eat some food too...

I would have suspected flukes as well. If you look at the black part of the fish. The spots are much smaller. The larger ones could still be from ich, a secondary infection from the entrance wound.

Copper sounds like a great idea to me. You may want to make sure you have Kanaplex and Furan-2 on hand as well in case those areas worsen.
