I've treated "Nibbler" once already with Furan-2 and also General Cure.
After He (no sex known) was cleared to leave the QT he went back to the DT.
His wound was completely clear of infection and new skin was forming.
He was wound-free for about 1-2 weeks, but then the Exact same spot came back, and the wound spread again as it did the first time. This lead me to think maybe he had hurt himself on the same corals, but I'm looking for info from you all as it's probably more likely it's bacterial.
I'm sure it's possible he hit the same coral to wound himself, just as you and I may whack our knee on the same open drawer or such, but it's so frustrating that his wound started from the "exact same spot" as his first wound.
Sept 30 2019 I placed Nibbler in my QT.
I treated with Furan-2 for a total of 4 doses as per the package instructions.
Then, with no clear results, I performed a second round of 4 doses.
After the second round of F2 dosing his wounds became bright red again.
After seeing the results from the second round of dosing, it became apparent that the meds were a problem.
I performed a large 75% WC. Then Nibbler's wound started to appear 'clearer'.
I dosed Stress Guard as per the bottle instructions.
This appeared to cause his wound to become red again, so I performed another large WC.
After another week of feeding and small WCs his wound was completely healed.
Once his wound looked as best as it could be, I returned him to the DT.
He looked great for about 2 weeks.
Then, 2-3 weeks later, his wound returned and became heavily infected again. And it's grown again as it did previously.

This is him now in my QT after a 30 min dip in Methylene Blue
How can I help my poor critter not go through this again ??????
