Hypo with medications?

[sponger0]

Is this possible?

[Fish_wiz2]

I do believe it is possible but i would highly not recommend it. Hypo puts the fish in enough stress and adding more meds could be the breaking point. I would wait unit you are finished with hypo before medicating. Hope that helps, Wiz.

Ok the point was to get peoples attention as I cant get any kind of response on a thread I posted 6 hours ago and I know someone on here has an opinion or some experience.

How do you treat an angel with ich and a swelling eye in hypo?

[Reefmedic79]

The Hypo will treat the ich, the swollen eye probably aleviate after the ich is gone.

Can I ask how ich would cause a swollen eye?

They both appeared at the same time. Tested for ammonia and saw none.

[Reefmedic79]

Secondary infection due to a parasitic wound.

Secondary infection due to a parasitic wound.

Hmmmm ok. That sounds logical. Now when should I see relief from the swelling just in case to keep my eyes open for something else?

[Reefmedic79]

If your currently in Hypo there is nothing you will be able to do for any other issue that may come up. So I would only worry about the hypo for now, which should take care of most parasitic issues.

I've seen fish with pop-eye never recover completely, but how long it takes to heal will vary with the fish.

usually 3-4 weeks on the pop-eye, or it could just burst all together... won't really affect the fish. If it has it in 2 eyes, and they both burst...the fish will most likely die.

I dont want his eye to pop :(
