Need Help Again... HITH? PIMPLE on FIN?

[Desiree]

Oops... Sorry my OHF is only for 2FT.... But i'll keep you updated anyway.

I put tap water into a pail, treat it with Seacheam Prime, and let it stand for awhile (my idea is so its more regulated to room temperature but i am not sure if it helps.... then take my time to use my measuring beaker for measuring salt to pour it in.

But when i used Acriflavin, i dosed it everyday for three days! So i must have overdosed him with medication. Could this be a result of HITH?

Overdosing with medication can kill the aro. You are lucky in this case that it resulted in HITH. That's why it's important to read instructions carefully before dosing.

So will anything adverse happen to her aro Simon?

So bro, if overdosing in this instance is to do water changes frequently? Plus using AC (say 24hrs usuage only)? Thanks.

this sucks... really a painful lesson learnt. i added activated carbon, after medication that time... lucky for me he is still alive...

Thanks everyone... my aro seems to be recovering. i will update you guys with pictures soon.

He is going under his 3rd medication of metronidazole. However, i have a question. When using Activated Carbon to remove medication, i noticed that some Carbon does seem to leak out of the 'tea bag'. I noticed it when i soaked the bags in a pail of water. I am afraid that even with thorough washing, they will still remain in my filter media. Is there any way i can totally eradicate the Carbon Dust? I fear it may be harmful and cause problems again in the long run.

Thank you very much...

These are updates on my RTG's HITH. The smaller ones are gone, but two patches seem to have merged. Hope they go away soon. His right side seem to be worse.

It still doesn't look good. It's more effective to give oral medication. You were to call me about the oral medication. You need to dissolve some of the antibiotics in water & inject a frog or SW before feeding. HITH disease doesn't cure overnight. It can be a long drawn treatment.
