Skinny Blue Throat Trigger

I will get my mom to check with her vet, they are on an acreage and have a great relationship with her, I never even thought to go that route. She has 2 she works with and if they can't help, her neighbours will have connections as well. This helps immensely, I will keep updating. This is so frustrating!

This is what Pisces recommended

Metronidazole and Focus, both from Seachem. Mix in with their food, feed daily.

Of what is available to you at the moment they are probably the best choices. Another option is to continue the Prazipro while feeding those as well.

I will give another dose of prazipro. I wanted to do another water change as im sure the water quality is poor. I can get it done tomorrow eve, do you see any value or should I just go ahead and dose now?

Well, mom's vet said to take a worm sample to the Calgary Avian and Exotic Pet Clinic to test. CAEPT still won't issue meds without seeing fish, said its illegal, even with a sample to release an rx. Its either take the fish there, or have them come to my house. A picture helps, but they need to see the head of the worm under microscope.

I am going to increase the dosage of the prazipro and metronidazole (packaging says this medication cannot be overdosed). Prazipro will dosed every 2-3 days and I'll mix it with their food.

Never a bad idea to do a water change.

I finally received some levamisole meds this week and am going to treat my tank today as I'm home and can monitor. As my fish seem to finally fatten up I thought the last treatment I did with the seachem meds had finally gotten rid of the worms. Been watching my fish and hadn't seen any signs in quite a while, until last night, my blue tang had them hanging out its rear.

So I need some help with the dose. I have a 180 display and an 87 gl sump. I would guess I have approx 120 lbs of rock between the 2, plus my skimmer and dual reactor. I've got 7.5 grams of meds.

Can someone help with how much I should use, I've looked on line and can't seem to find the calculations for the powder form for sw.

Thanks
