Petco rescue, two tangs

[ckalupa]

Did these fish ever get the CP treatment?

 

[Frtdrmrose7]

You’ve done two doses of prazi, 5-7 days apart correct? Could be prazi-resistant flukes then [emoji31]

Do you have fenbendazole, by chance? @Frtdrmrose7 @HotRocks

Fenbendazole is dosed at 125mg per gallon for a 12 hour bath,and be aware it doesn’t dissolve well so you’ll have to work at it. I used a 5G bucket with 4G of water in it.
Make sure you aerate the water well with at least an air stone.

I have some unfortunate news to share, Mr Yellow Tang passed away.

I did give him a 90 minute bath in fungus cure and started his antibiotics. He looked progressively worse throughout the night and was breathing heavy so I also gave him oxygen and kept an eye on him until about after 4am before going to bed. My wife and I just woke up and discovered him

I haven't used the cp as of yet

Not the news any of us wanted to hear. I'm so sorry for you, but I'm afraid the odds were stacked against him. I definitely applaud your efforts. You did everything you possibly could.

It's the news that I was hoping not to share, thank you very much

Dang. Good try man!

Thank you, he seemed to be doing so well too

Well that sucks. You gave it your best and that's all anyone can do. Be proud of your effort!

On a positive note, baby Dory is doing well this morning. I'm going to try to get a better look in a little while but it looks like her infection is getting better

@ngoodermuth @Frtdrmrose7 @HotRocks @4FordFamily Do any of you have any experience or thoughts on using albendazole or mebendazole to treat prazi resistant flukes? I would be able to get either of these sooner than the fenbendazole will get here

I don’t personally, might be an @Humblefish question...

 

[seaplane]

Heartbreaking news, but it certainly wasn't from lack of effort. This is a learning experience for all of us .

 

[Bigboned]

Gutted for you- of the pair of them the tang seemed to be doing the best!!

I’m sorry to read this... we probably should have started the antibiotics in the beginning, it’s just hard to tell sometimes and unfortunately by the time it’s “clear” that something is needed it is often too late :( RIP yellow tang, he had a much better shot with you than where he was. Valiant effort...

Thank you. I know antibiotics aren't something we want to administer unless they are needed, I was trying to keep a close eye on him and he seemed to be making so much improvement until yesterday.

 

[Dolelo96]

I’m so sorry to hear this. You did everything and anything that could be done!

 

[Cohibaman]

Yeah this sucks. We were all pulling for him. You did everything right and he certainly had the best shot with all the great advice given here as well as your tenacity. If anything, this thread taught many of us a thing or five!

 

[MombasaLionfish]

:(

 

[Cohibaman]

...and for a lil’ diversion....

Last night, I moved my yellow tang from his hospital tank after (hopefully) a successful treatment with copper for Velvet. Thank you Cupramine & Hanna HR Copper Checker.

Still pulling for you, Dory. You can do it!
