Camallanus

A friend of mine had called me a while ago. He had sick fish, he
described them and said that he had had a couple of deaths.

I had talked it over with him, suggested a few websites and he had
attempted a few cures ...

He called me up a few days ago and insisted I go by ... the fish were
quite plump, some had redness around the anus ... however, no nematodes
were visible out the anus ... still, I suggested he try levamisole
hydrochloride (I told him not to worry about the brand name.) He soon
exhausted all LFS and such, even animal/livestock feed stores ... (most
amateurs don't recognize this disease, nor how difficult it can to get
rid of once gotten, without the proper meds.)

Finally, he ordered some levamisole powder off the internet, we brewed
it up at the correct dosage from my old notes and he now has his fish
eating and with normal sized bellies, no redness, no whitish feces ...
however, there were a few more mortalities in the mean time ...

I just can't believe levamisole hydrochloride is so hard to locate ...
considering it is one of the few medications useful for the treatment of
worms in fish (actually nematodes.) And, he paid quite nicely for the
few capsules he obtained ...

Anyone know of a cheap source for this medication? Anyone ever tried
Thiabendazole for this disease (I noticed this was easily obtainable,
but I had, had no experience with it?--and, since it was being sold as
cattle wormer, I had no idea on the dosages which would be suitable and
safe ...

hero or rescuer of sick and distressed critters. I htink old Johnny
boy is a ****ing liar who digs his material up out of old posts
others made and contorts them to reflect him as the main player.
