FH gone weird, help!!

[Hash_7]

It's been a few days now since my short bordy FH started acting all weird & not feeding. Don't have much knowledge about FH since I just have it for 4 months now & it's a first time that it acts this way. I tried to research this condition but failed to get answers so far & would appreciate help from any of u guys. My FH lost it colors & turned pale & got this weird thing coming out of its vent & it hasn't been feeding properly for the past few days. Any idea as to why this is happening? I have posted some pics as well..

Looks like a prolapse with internal parasites, get yourself some Epsom salt and metro, I've had good results using both on juvies with similar problems.

Look for a how to treat hex sticky here.

Good luck.

Thanks guys for the responses, unfortunately it was very difficult to get epsom salts where i live as it has been discontinued from pharmacies, luckily a friend works in a hospital lab & will get me some tomorrow. Will try to dose my FH with some once i get it and will update you on results...

You should try PraziPro. Stuff works wonders.
