looks like amonnia burns...what is your water parameters?
first put the cat in clean water bump temp and add salt.

The fisrst time i did and then some one told me to stop, so it was like one day of ich meds, so he was in the hospitile tank for a week with salt and the stuff that gets rid of chlorin at 80degress. he looked better so i put him back in the 180gal tank and he looked 10 times worst this morning. He is kind of beating him self up and puting the soars on him. he all so seems to be kinda coughfing or somthing

no only half, that is what the lady at jacks told me, then i posted that other post and some one told me no meds, because it burns there skin. well his skin was falling off be for the meds , thats why i got the meds

 

[haynchinook334]

the skin...might be "shedding" it's natural for the cat to do that.
as for your cat now....QT it and salt and keep temp at 79.

do they beat there self up and get blisters when they shed

 

[haynchinook334]

yep....just to help rub it off...that is why i have my to cats in a bare bottom tank...and just wait intill they start eatiing everything, gravle included.

for starters you should take him out of a 10 gallon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the filter your running on that tank cant keep up with his size/bio load. Thats way to small of a quarentine*** tank IMO.
