I am following everyone's instructions as closely as can@Mjrenz I have dealt with difficult flukes that Prazipro would not kill about the same time that Frdtrmrose7 was doing the same. We both tried different approaches to successfully kill them. After the treatment I did see an occasional flash that was likely due to some irritation left behind from the flukes. So if you see it and it does not continue on - likely there was some other irritant causing it.
You have come a long way and are getting very solid guidance so keep following those sage words!
Thank you so much! I will pick it up as soon as I'm done working todayDone..check PM

And I did something else but wont post it so you dont go down another avenue when you are already in good hands here
I will add I did have to use fenbendazole and I have had no flashing since.
I was reading last night and came upon the thread where you guys were discussing what you did, that's actually why I asked if I should consider having the fenbendazole on hand. Don't worry though, I understand my limitations and won't do any treatments unless you guys recommend itAnd I did something else but wont post it so you dont go down another avenue when you are already in good hands here
Ha ha ha! Love it. Go Bears and White Sox! I'm surprised a Packers fan has such a big heart. Just kidding [emoji16]I would also like to commend you on the ability to get 22 pages with 431 comments on a sick fish post. I suspect they will severely drop off now that you have openly supported the Packers though.
Thank you so much!The booster pump and power supply will go out later this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
That poor fish, there's no reason this should even be happening. They have more than enough resources to properly care for themHere’s another one at petco that needs saving...so sad. This thread has me thinking about it
I agree with you 100%That poor fish, there's no reason this should even be happening. They have more than enough resources to properly care for them
I would observe until this afternoon. If the flashing had stopped then it was more than likely flukes that got through the short second dose. Unfortunately that means two more Prazipro treatments 5-7 days apart to end its lifecycle.
If you want to do fenbendazole you can as it’s gentle on fish. It’s dosed 125mg per gallon for a 12 hour bath (Recommend a bucket).
I just got home and I'm getting ready to run out again to pick up the new hospital tank from @Dolelo96. I peeked in on them and she is flashing againI wouldn’t do another freshwater dip so soon, repeated dips can be stressful and you really need her immune system working full strength to get ahead of that infection.
If you feel you need to treat again... perhaps general cure would work better with less of an impact on the 02 in the tank. Or, if you want to try the fenbendazole that would work as a bath in a separate container.
Maybe you can grab that 20L tank that’s being offered, and treat with the bath in transit to the bigger tank. That way you can pre-dose the abx in the new tank, and little Dory will be less stressed and have a more forgiving water volume.
For now, I would just give her some time to recover while you decide on your next steps.

Do you have General Cure? I’d dose that tonight (the metronidazole has antibiotic properties as well) wait 24 hours, and then do a water change and go back to the antibiotics.
We can tackle the second dose when we get there, depending on how the infection is looking by then.
General Cure is the one thing that I haven't bought yet for medicine and I haven't found anywhere local that sells it. I was able to find fenbendazole at petco, however, it's safeguard canine dewormer but the only active ingredient is fenbendazole. I bought it incase you guys say it is ok to use, if it isn't I'll return it.I wouldn’t do another FW dip, and I’m going to say let’s go with @ngoodermuth advice directly above.

You have to read this. The response from Petco is ridiculous!I agree with you 100%
