Best treatment for pop eye?

Post by silverrabbit on Fri Jul 09, 2010 12:36 am

My Green sev that i've had back off my mum when her tank water ended up on the floor from a split filter pipe has pop eye. At first he seemed to have a touch of HITH, presumably from the stress of the situation and sitting in an unheated, unfiltered 6 inches of water until my mum got home. Treated him for that and he came on nicely, but I noticed yesterday when doing a water change that he has pop eye. Started treating with Myxazin but today it looks much worse Sad

Anyone know of a better treatment I an try?

Hi
I've always used Myxazin for pop eye with good success. In this case it was obviously brought on by stress so is a secondary symptom. I would try an Anti-bacterial meds like Esha to treat for a broad range of infections.
