Hello, This is Bubba. It's been about 2 months since I got him from a person who wanted to give away. I'm currently treating him for hole in head, just started. What other medications should I give(ex, metronidazole,usage process)

He also seems to be bloated very much, he's very active and eats voraciously. Today his poop was made up of yellowish green balls.He's around 6-7 inches now. Water change happens once in 3 days.

Feeding him twice, morn around 11am and eve 7. Please suggest what has to be done.

Welcome aboard
Don't feed for a day or two and hopefully things improve.
I suggest feeding once a day.
If still bloated you can treat with epsom salt .

Well, the situation is pretty much same should I wait for 2 more day with minimal feeding or no feeding at all? Any other remedies? Thanks

What type of food do you feed?

 

[tlindsey]

It's possible it may not be bloat. Keep feeding less every other day.

Humpy head and okiko platinum

If u have contact with the previous owner maybe they could give background if Bubba had this before and if/how was he treated. Just a thought. What's the protein content of his food?

You could try shelled peas.
