Yeah, I'm in the US. I found some and am giving it a try.

Thanks.

I have a wild fish (bluegill) that was caught with a fishing pole and
hook.
It's been doing okay in my tank (eating and behavior), but the hook
sores
above its mouth have now caused a swelling in one side of its nose.

It looks to me like some sort of infection. My water isn't great
(nitrates
are pretty high--I'm doing some water changes but have had some trouble)
but
the other fish seem to be doing fine.

I was just wondering if it's possible to administer antibiotics to this
fish, and if they can be purchased without going to a vet.

Thanks for any tips!

Jonathan



Antbiotic availability is country dependant.
In the UK you can only get pet antibiotics through a vet
In the USA they are readily available from pet stores or at least they
were
when I was last there!
