Cipro eye drops for ritteri?

[MoshJosh]

So my local fish store had a rough looking ritteri they just imported. . . and of course I decided it was my job to "rescue" it (nothing against them but I have seen many imported colonies and anemones die in their tanks)

It was looking rough in their tank and is looking rough in my little isolation box. I was hoping it would perk up when not being pumbled by clowns, but no such luck. That fish store doesn't sell Cipro, and the other fish store is not open (I will call when they are). I have access to Cipro eye drops (human formulation, think with glycerin added). Can I use this to dose Cipro and at what dose (how many mg per gallon)???

It's been awhile but I usually get cipro from calvetsupply. I ordered on a Friday with their free shipping tier and received it Monday.
