So my DG had this really weird spot in him, and for the life of me, I could not find anything to tell me what it was. I researched everything suggested on here, and none of it agreed. Looked at pictures of what was suggested. I decided to keep the water clean and see if anything happened. It kept getting worse almost by the day, so out of absolute desperation, I started a parasite treatment to do at least something for him. Hasn't helped. Last night it looked like the spot had opened and had nasties coming out. Best conclusion I got is he scraped himself on one of his spontaneous flashing sprees that have no reason whatsoever and got something in the scrape before I could see it. Did a water change last night and today got stress coat. It says to treat injuries, 2 tsp per 10 gallons. My question: how often do you add it?
 
Are you still using meds for parasites for your DG?

As for the Stress coat I would imagine it is good for a few days, but if you change and remove water, I would retreat, or maybe also every few days while he is having the sore.

How is it going with him?
