Spaghetti's reaction to his first dose of Kanaplex for his popeye:

Another update! Spaghetti and Firecracker have been impatiently awaiting their new tank shelving, and it is now ready :D

Popeye Update

Spaghetti had an Epsom salt bath in a green bucket (and did not like it!) today. His eye swelling didn't go down a whole lot.

Does anyone have any input on how often I can give salt baths? Would it be harmful to do one a day until the swelling goes down?

I'm increasingly worried about Spaghetti :(

Despite several different popeye treatments and water changes, he's still had no appetite for almost a week, and he's started to lay in the same spot of the tank for days at a time.

I'm moving him into a small hospital tank, but I'm not too optimistic about his chances if I'm honest.

Any additional advice would be appreciated ^^

Popeye Update

I've finished Spaghetti's Kanaplex treatment, but it's been a few days and his eyes are still pretty swollen (ignore the mosquito bite pellets; he's in his dinner cup in these pics).

I want to try an Epsom salt treatment for him next, but I have a few questions:

1) Should I wait for a few days for him to recover from the first medication?

2) Do I pour Epsom salt directly into his tank, or can I use a dip method?

3) If the salt goes into his tank, how often do I replace the water and/or salt during treatment?
