Injecting grubs or worms with medicine?

[firefly1152]

I have a green sunfish that is displaying signs of wasting disease. I'd like to get some medicine into it, but it won't eat medicated pellets.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with injecting grubs or nightcrawlers with medicine. And how much you use. I have a fish pharmacy on hand and was planning on using metro, prazi, and fenbendazole on alternating weeks.

So one week, hit with metro, wait a week, hit with prazi, wait a week, hit with fenbendazole.

I was watching a video where a guy used a syringe and put the medicine directly into the fish's stomach, but I think mine would flap around too much for that.

Thanks for any help.

I’ve mixed with distilled water till liquid enough and I’ve injexted earthworms with full dose and fed to my fish. Worked out fine. Can get some air in the bug and will float. Other than that I’d try that and see if it works.

Thanks. I'm going to try it.
