I have used melafix at little less than 1/2 dosage a few times to fix up some real bad wounds on red bellies with excellent results. it will kill BB and force a cycle at proper doses. but it has fixed some pretty bad wounds for me. just a thought
my fish burned his kok recently on the heater... made me so upset.. pics are out of order 3rd pick is the day it happened after it went from white to a dark spot. last picture was like 4 days ago. been almost 3 weeks since it happened. hoping for a fully heal.I had a dragon blood peacock that laid against the heater during a round of ick treatment. He died the next day.
I took a scrap piece of ABS pipe and split it length wide down one side, then drilled a metric butt-load of 1/2" holes all around it.
With the split, I could just open it up and slide it over my suction cups for the heater. Definitely not pretty, but very effective (and blends into my black background....kind of!).
Here's an older pic where you can see it.

Ugh man hope he pulls through. I always do a couple extra doses of ridx when dealing with injuries.
