His lips don't look stuck and he has been eating, I had a grammode who died of duck lips and his lips where like detached from his face. Almost like a permanent yawn. It sucked. As far as the ConJag, his lips have regained some of their color, but still look slightly swollen. I treated the tank with 2500 mg of amoxicillin (couldn't find Kanamycin) and will add another 2500 mg every other day for a total of 7500 mg. The guy at the LFS said not to change the water for two weeks so the meds have time to work, but that seems like an awful long time to not do a water change. When do you think I can do a water change without diluting the effects of the meds. I also added a good amount of aquarium salt...let's see what happens. i hope I'm not doing damage to my fish by treating without a 100% confirmed diagnosis of columnaris

He lost half of his top lip because it was broken and dislocated to far away from the other piece to heal. Other than that he fully recovered. I treated the secondary infection with metro and several rounds of nitro and did daily 25% wc in a sterile bare bottom tank. I also very importantly didn't feed him until after he healed( just about a month long fast).
