Well I've been kinda stupid with t.grans...

The drug is fortraz, and he kept her on Gentocin Opthalmic both are applied every 3 days.

Well, the best news is that the evening I updated this post I fed them and she ate like she had never been sick. I was THRILLED! A very good sign.
Take care,
Mary.

This is the drug (Fortaz = ceftazidime):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceftazidime

I've never heard of it. Apparently it's effective against Pseudomonas, so that's probably the reason it was prescribed. Is it injected?

Glad to hear she's eating! Good luck!

Ceftazidime is a very effective agent for treatment of gram-negative bacterial infections...including many strains of Psuedomonas. It is used as a SQ injection in reptiles (may also be administered IM).

I'm delivering it topically.
Take care,
Mary.

Just wanted to let you know that McGooey is doing GREAT! She is wanting food every night, so she's getting food every night. Normally, I feed them every other day. She was battling for McGlop's shed skin last night. She had a good shed herself a couple of days ago. Here are a couple of pics from last night. I need to do alot of work on the tank still, it looks horrible, but I just switched them to a small canister and am growing out small moss walls in the main tanks to line the bottom of the tank with. I am making them all small so I can easily lift them out and syphon underneath them when I do water changes. You can see the swelling or lesion on her lower jaw, probably an injury from my bad force feeding attempts. She's going in for a follow up on Monday so I should know whether that's a permanent war wound, or if it should go away. But I was so happy to see her doing so well and fighting McGlop for his skin that it actually brought tears to my eyes, so I wanted to share.


Take care,
Mary.

that's great news. Really good to see a thread that started off like this one have a happy ending.

brilliant, love the tank, and the happy ending
im all smiles

That's a fine looking T.G. I am very glad to hear he is responding. It's good when things work out.
