I rescued this flowerhorn locally and she looked very sick and ragged with a swollen belly. I put her in a hospital tank and treated with furan 2 and general cure. First it looked like she dropped her slime coat, since then a lot of milky looking slime been coming out of her which I haven't seen before. I'm guessing an internal bacterial infection? Her swollen belly has gone down and she started looking a little better but now she looks a bit worse again and she is still refusing food after almost two weeks. Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys! Pics below.

Minocycline worked well for me for internal bacterial bloat ..full course .. not a big fan of general cure .. they seem to never work for me
