Blond Naso w/ flukes, how long do I have?

[Pulp Fishin]

I noticed yesterday my Blond Naso Tang with what look like a catorac eye. Today she was hiding in the rocks and not swimming arround normally.
I was wondering if anybody with experiance can tell me how long she might have? I have to mail order treatment and that might take a few days to get here and I fear it might be too late.

Any info will help.
Thanks

Do a FW dip. That will give temporary relief as it will cause the flukes to fall off, but does not kill the eggs.

Yesterday I did give hime a freshwater bath for about 3-3.5min I could barly keep him in longer.
I ordered some Maracyn packets and they should be here by wenesday or thursday at the lastest and plan on QT'ing the fish after that arrived with a HOB filter.
As a last ditch effort I also went to my LFS and bought RpX by Kent Marine and started a dosing cycle, will this help kick the eggs?

When my filter & MAracyn gets here I plan on doing another FW bath before then and then I'll QT my fish for apx 2 weeks.


Am I missing anything? Any sugestions?

Anything claiming it is Reef safe and kills ich puts up a big red flag for me. No Reef Safe meds have been proven to kill ich so I don't know if it really does anything except take your money. I use Prazipro in QT tanks to treat flukes. Two 7 day treatments seem long enough to allow the eggs to hatch and kill the flukes. Maracyn is a good bacterial medication as flukes can cause secondary infections and I have used it with Prazipro without any issues.

I assume you meant Maracyn II, which is for saltwater. Maracyn is for freshwater.
