Medicating Agamyxis pectinifrons
Posted: 17 Oct 2012, 01:42
Hello! I have an infection going on in my tank. We did a culture and sensitivity on an infected fin of a non-catfish, and came up with Vibrio fluvialis. It's sensitive to most antibiotics, save tetracycline. We have a few options for dosing - water bath, injection, or compounded antibiotic-laced gel food are the ones that come to mind. (I work at a vet hospital, so any option you can think of, we can try.) The issue is getting the medication into my Agamyxis pectinifrons. He doesn't rush to eat at any particular time, so I'm reluctant to dose his food; he might be under-dosed that way. I'd really rather not get cut to pieces attempting injections, but perhaps I could figure it out. Is there a trick do medicating them? I'd prefer not to dose the whole aquarium, but will if I must.
