Going to need some advice here.
Chip is healing from his other wounds with the Tetra Lifeguard treatment. But I'm concerned about his eye. Not sure whether to concentrate treatment on the eye for now and suspend using the Lifeguard. I'd also like to try to get him to eat. He seems to be able to see out of it and the pupil is still visible (no whiteness). But for obvious reasons he can no longer move it. I've got epsom salt on the way which should be arriving tomorrow. The aquarium salt made it even worse (nearly bulging out of the socket) I immediately added fresh water and it went back down to what you see in the pictures. I'm not sure if this will resolve with clean water/time or what. I have ich treatment. I've heard methylene blue is effective against eye infections? I was thinking a swab on the eye. There seems to be a pouch of fluid on one side. You can also see a fluid swelling on his body around that area.
The eye situation just exploded in the last three days. I believe it originally started as a scrape.

Update on my Severum Chip
In other threads I've posted about the recent incident with my Severum. Long story short, his head was bitten by my Oscar. Severum has been a major ass for months. Chip hasn't been the same since, to put it straight. He was healing well, even showing some of his @hole fiestyness with the...
