I would use Clear medication and use a syringe to get him to ingest it

Can try it as it’s for deworming and white feces. Would also add Epsom salt 1 tbsp per 5g.

It increases the motility of the gut. Helps to move things out. Like poop and pathogens.

Will try some awuariyum salt now and see how's go
Is that a internal paraise??

Aquarium salt I mean sorry

You want to look for Epsom salt. Aquarium salt won’t have the same effect and is much different.

What he said. Get Epsom salt. It's a laxative and muscle relaxer
