Tomorrow, do a 50% water change and add 200mg of Neomycin and a standard dose of triple sulfa (whatever it tells you to use for 10 gallons on the package, should be about 380mg).
Sunday, do a 50% water change and add 200mg of Neomycin and half whatever you added the first day for Triple sulfa (should be about 190mg).
Repeat Sunday's instructions until you've used the Triple Sulfa for 10 days.
I was only suggesting that you use 400mg of Neomycin again if you ran carbon in between your use of Furan-2 and the use of Triple Sulfa, since carbon would pull out all of the antibiotic, including the Neomycin.

In the event that Ann asks, this may save time, are you able to take and post a photo?
I pm'd Ann this morning and let her know.....I could not get a pic cause he was in my hand (plant and all..lol) and I was here alone and couldn't get to the camera...Everything looked the same except there was blood on it
Ann said to stop the bio bandage in case it's irritating the wound
Today is day one of the Triple Sulpha/neomycin combination

Another thought... has there been any itching, scratching, twitching, laboured breathing, or anything else notable?
The way the wound looks, and the way it isn't responding to antibiotics, has me considering ciliates. If it is, there are a few things that could help externally, but really only one difficult to find med that would be helpful internally. We should still give some time for the Neomycing & Triple Sulfa to work, but considering how difficult it is for you to get things, you might want to start looking for sources for Formalin (relatively easy to find) and Chloroquine (relatively difficult to find and not a fish med; used for malaria), in case there still isn't any improvement with the change in meds.

OHHHH....I have formalin...I got it from dan when I ordered in the other things...
NOPE...No itching or anything else for that matter...he sits on his plant looking in the mirror....he hunts for his amphipods too...everything seems fine (WELL) as far as his QT behavior....
I am going to look up this ciliate thing right now...what is it? ANd also chloroquine....

Dunno what that means. I do know that it's hard to get without a script here in the US. The shipping for the certain site I'm on is free but that's for standard air...I bet if you called you could have it shipped sooner.
LOL...Kat lives in Canada.....He has a thread I have been involved with for a couple of months
I will look it up
thanks....I am soooo hoping I need nothing more
