junebug14 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Hi everyone, I have an otto cat that got caught in an ornament and has pretty bad scrapes. I moved him to a quarantine tank and hes been there for 36 hours. What can I treat him with to help aid to fight infection and skin care.

Brandy Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I have found mine to be quite hardy in terms of healing injuries. I had one somehow get a huge gash on his head, I thought he would get sick and die for sure. There was no easy way to catch him, but the tank parameters were good, and he made a full recovery. With the exception of bettas, I have found that most fish heal from injuries rapidly, without intervention, as long as the water is clean, the temperature is appropriate, and they are not being re-injured. Long finned bettas seem to be cabable of injuring themselves by swimming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch_ScruffyCityAquatics Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I had to remove one from an uplift tube once. It damaged its head. I put it in qt with clean water and a little salt and it completely healed (1tbs per 3 gallon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen198614 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Maybe Stress Guard, it says it’s an antiseptic and helps with wounds. https://www.seachem.com/stressguard.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
