The Puffer Forum

From the pic, she looks skinny. Should be well felt out. But have problems feeding her, she would look like this though. Turning down food is a sign of IP. Btw, I would raise the temp up in the tank to help maybe spark her appetite.

This is a good idea. Raise the temperature by about 4 degrees and it will help boost her metabolism.

Thanks will sure give that a try!

Just some update on her progress

I was only able to fed her medicated food once or twice.. with a tiny piece of shrimp..
so I really don't know how much med..

This is how she looks now


She's making a really good progress compared to the pic maybe a week ago..


She has gained some weight!
she's also constantly begging for food! Her poop is no longer pearly looking either.

Is it okay to stop the medication?

That's some great progress! I would not stop the meds however, alternate between days where you give her meds but try and get her to take the meds as much as possible for a week. Gotta make sure all those nasties are out of her. Great job on your part, you did amazing! =]

Much better! Treat for at least 5 days.

Oh wow! Now that is much better. Great job you been doing with her

Will for sure treat her for another week!
