Finally... pics. No, this is GOOD news. That thing you see coming out his rectum is 1/3 the size of what it was last night and is no longer bright red. So I am hoping, that it was a worm and is now dead. Yes, he has a heater burn on his dorsal surface, it happened in the QT tank, forgot all about heaters in tank, b/c I am so used to using sumps.

4 to 8 times! what? I was going to do a single dose, but I guess if I hadn't kicked the crank I could inject a worm, damn that would have been easier. I will have to find a diabetic asap!
LMAO...... Congrats on kickin it!!!
Sharpen a needle used for filling sports balls. Should be able to modify that to a plastic surenge.
I used a needle for piercings with airline hose attaching it to the plastic surenge.
I think when I doesed my wild caught it was like 5 ml per worm. I'de offer 2 medicated worms then chased with straight worms. The meds either didn't taste that bad or she was that hungry..... Never refused.
But yeah I've heard of using Prazi anywhwhere from 4 to 8 times recommended dosage. After crunching numbers to medicate a 1500 gallon pond...... You'll find some sort of needle for the worms......
Good luck man... Keep us updated.

I get my wormy needles/syringes from the local pet shot that sells doggy vaccines.. They are a couple bucks you just have to ask them usually.
Hope he starts putting on weight for ya, and kicks the worms

Not permitted in CT (vaccines), side-note, I own 3 pet stores.
This morning, his little rectal "friend" is now a white protrusion that is, estimate, about 1/10th what the red version was 2 days ago. I soaked some shrimp chunks in prazi and he ate them. I am hoping that I see a big void of dead worms in the tank tonite, or is that not how this works?

Appetite is back, but I will keep separated until I see him put on some size. I want to see him get that eat till I explode appetite like the females do, and the motoro.
