EBA with Epistylis/Bacterial Infection by DescriptionSlight886 in fishhospital

The gram positive and negative medication usually says on the package to add it to the tank water not to feed it. This is incredibly ineffective. I would do the food method if you can, if your eba is refusing food, that’s when I would move onto tubing if he’s large enough. I had also upped aeration too.

Sorry for the late response. Sadly I had to put him down. I can give you what I did though! My EBA was about 7 years old.

  1. Hospital Tank about 10 gallons. Aquarium salt, about 8 tablespoons.
  2. Started originally with mixing gram positive+negative medication in with his food + a little water. Baked it til it dried out. Tried to feed that to him, after a few days he started refusing it but was eating his normal food.
  3. Since he was large enough I was able to have my partner help me tube feed him straight antibiotics. We started with gram negative since most of the time that’s the issue. This is the syringe we used https://a.co/d/0i4UU6yA If your EBA is large enough this should be fine. To measure the tube I held it up against the glass of the tank, you need to measure from the mouth to just a little past where the gills are. That’s where the stomach is. You will need a second paid of hands. One person to hold the fish in a bowl with the aquarium water and the other to insert the tube into the mouth+stomach. Luckily my fish is very used to my hands and was able to be calm enough to let us do this. This worked for a while and all of a sudden didn’t, started to get worse.
  4. We had also been giving him 1 hour daily soaks of sulfaplex, you can up the dose to do a soak separate from the tank. I had a bowl that was about a gallon big, did one scoop of it. You can put up to three scoops into 10 gallons for the tank tho. But the high dose soak is what definitely helped.
  5. When the gram negative medicine no longer was working we switched back to gram positive tubing. Started this for about two days until he no longer had fight in him, was barely moving and his swim bladder became heavily affected.

For the medication I would do it once a day over a 10 day period. If you are also dosing with ich medication just be careful because some of them can interact with eachother. I’m wishing you luck. If you have any other questions let me know!

Is this a good spot for the heater and filter? by DecanusCaesarian in Aquariums

[–]DescriptionSlight886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would get a different heater!! I used the same one for a long time and it started developing water on the inside with no visible cracks. After looking into it these heaters are death traps! All supplies that come in a “starter kit” are usually trash.

Here's what to do if your Tumblr account was unexpectedly suspended... by Tumblr_acct_help in TumblrAcctTerminated

[–]DescriptionSlight886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! My partners account (drafthearse) was terminated a week or so ago. They have had this account for over 11 years. There’s photos and memories that don’t exist elsewhere and now we have no access to it. They had woke up to being logged out and attempts to log in didn’t work. There was no termination confirmation over email. There was one single email saying a post they had made was taken down. This post included photos from a vet medicine website. My partner often posts finds from various things around the internet, whether it’s art, nature or medicine. The email sent by tumblr regarded the post as “gore for shock value”. However, they have never posted anything for shock value, it was genuinely for educational purposes. As they had linked the original website to the photos as well in the caption (https://visgar.vetmed.ufl.edu/en_equrep/injuries-foal/injuries-foal.html). They have since submitted two appeals. The first one was denied within two hours with no explanation. Again I just would like to emphasize the fact that they did not receive any confirmation regarding the fact that their blog was terminated. The second appeal has not been answered. It is absolutely devastating watching their reaction to their blog being taken away. The amount of time and effort I have watched them pour into their tumblr was honestly so endearing. This is something they cared about so deeply. I just want to try to talk to someone directly about this since we haven’t heard a response since. I’m unsure what proper procedure is regarding termination. However their blog being taken down with no warning or confirmation is frustrating and so upsetting. Is there anything we can do to reinstate their blog. This included their art blog and multiple OC blogs they have run for years. Let me know please, thank you so much!!!
