Medication question....extra dose?

[AJinNY]

I treated my tank with fungus cure which helped.
Then I started treatment with tetracycline as I believed there was also a bacterial infection going on.

I followed the directions and the final dose was given last night. The fish have vastly improved, are swimming and still eating very well.

One fish still has a slight trace of outward symptoms. My question is, is this ok and it will continue to impove on its own? Or should I give it one more dose of tetracycline?

it probably wouldnt hurt to do it again, do a water change or follow directions, if its still showing it might get a grip without it, also secondary infections may be minimized

Unless the direction of the meds say not to give a second dose I ALWAYS give another.

^ I agree

most of the meds we have for fish really dont do well in water, its always a tougher call when its not in a QT( hint to jinny lol)
