Abscess?

[Zephyr]

Let's hope so...........I gave his tank another super-sterilizing today, and I'm not going to put him back with substrate, and plants and stuff for a while yet. But if he's not better by the weekend, I'm resorting to the medicated slugs.

I know it's hard to do, but you MUST NOT FEED HIM. His body will focus on the digestion and not the infection if you do. You need to drain the abscess, then dab it a few times with paper toweling *Tissue may leave particles,* then immediately dab neosporin as close to the drainage point or inside the drainage point. Inside will help a lot more.
