I wont have my digital camera until about 10pm. By then the stores will be closed and I wont be able to get any medicine to the horse untill this time tommorow.
Ammonia: 0
Nitrites:0
Nitrates: can never tell the color somewhere between 0 and 5.0
The system is a 90 gallon tank.
salt: 1.020
no corals, not expecting to get any, so treating in the tank is fine.
UV Sterilizer is off, after dosing with adaquate metronidazol.
I also did a tube feeding of frozen mysis, with vitachem, garlic and mentonidazol. He only snicked once or twice, but appeared to ingest some of the liquidfied combination.
Symtoms:
1. Hes stuck at the top of the water, does not appear to be able to sink.
2. he is new to the tank, to large to put in my qt tank.
3. On his one side, he has a white spot. Way to large to be ick. its probably about the size of a .... a...... end of a cigarette is the only thing I can think to compare it too.
From what I can read it appears to be external gas buble disease. Before I lance the wound I have a few questions.
1. Is any one aware of any diseases that Cause a seahorse to float, that have visual growth on the skin other then external Gas bubble disease? If so, how do I tell the differance?
2. if it is gas bubble disease what should I put on the wound after I lance it?
3. any other suggestions?
Please help!
Thanks a ton!
