Messed up antibiotics dose. What now?

[Mariette]

I’ve got fish in qt on antibiotics. Meds say to treat for 10-14 days. I’m at day 13. But I was accidentally giving 1/2 dose the 1st 7 days
Treating a fish w white on mouth. Fish showing great improvement but not healed yet.
So, do I act as if it’s 10-14 days from when full dose was started? Or do I stop treatment tomorrow while fish is still sick?

Keep going until you have completed 10 days of full strength treatment.

Do you have other antibiotics on hand? Switching may make sure whatever you are dealing with doesn’t develop any resistance to the drug.

If the fish is showing improvement that is a great sign.

Thank you. Yes, I have other antibiotics on hand. Great advise.
