If there is one, I think the bowel obstruction has to be treated first. Any bacterial infection/kidney dysfunction is only a side-effect.

I have done Epsom salt baths as well as feeding peas. I have not fed in 5 days.

With no results, I would stop the Triple Sulfa. You could try naother medication if you want to. Did he really seem better with erythormycin?

My go to medication for gram negative bacterial infection is Seachem Kanaplex since it is readily absorbed through the skin. If you cant get that locally, the next thing to try is Furan-2.

I just tried furan2. He seems to be getting worse and worse by the day. He has a body slime and no color. And he's puffed up pretty good like a pine cone now
