YWG with worm coming out of hole in stomach?

[Mr.Z]

Follow vetteguys instructions to kill DT flukes, keep YWG in QT until wound is healed, make sure YWG is eating, and watch out for infection. If healthy, the YWG will heal the wound without too much issue

Sounds good. Thank you!

Surface but try to burrow. Thats why the listed remedies work- theyre not quite deep into skin

The freshwater dip is an amazing thing, the worms cannot control the osmosis issue and they literally blow up like a balloon as the freshwater enters through their skin. It kills them incredibly fast. Im a fan of it as you get to see the worms swell up that you did not even see on other parts of the fish and die.

Just wanted to update that Squash (that’s the goby’s name) has survived and seems to have recovered fine. He’s eating well and back in the display tank!

Thank you all for the help!
