yes..from past memory I remember seeing mags were treated with doxy..Be careful with amoxicillin and BTAS they dont seem to like it...

Thanks for the warning i have to do something or im going to lose the lot.

Any suggestions what else i can use if i cant get doxy or cipro? I only have penicillin v on hand

Anyone able to offer any advice on using doxycycline for treatment of a mag? Any dosage info? Is it the same as Cipro?

Last night I decided to do a peroxide dip and an iodine dip as a last ditch effort to stop the tissue loss. I did ~ 1 part peroxide to 5 parts tank water for 6 minutes. Then I did a few drops of Lugol's in a small dish of tank water also for 6 minutes. The nem looked awful afterwards but opened back up by the next morning. So far there has been no more tissue loss, but the nem still won't attach it's foot to anything... I think now I'll just leave it be and hope it pulls through

How did it go? I have same issue now.
