Injured Ray

[cane76]

when i woke up this morning my female ray had a 2" gash on her underside by her mouth,its quite deep and open,but its not bleeding it must have happened several hours before i woke up.
i done a 30% water change and dosed the tank with melafix anything else i should do?could it get infected?
she must of got spooked during the night and swam into the edge of the bogwood

sorry to hear about your ray, that sounds nasty, i think melafix will do the job, its pretty good and never failed me.

Hope your ray gets well.

PS - Is there any pics of your rays hanging around, i would love to see them?

Regards
LT

Damn...
Is she ok now, or still abit stressed?
I dont know, but like with most fish, should heal fairly well...Allthough have no experiance with rays...

Hope she gets better

it dont seem to be bothering her at all and it seems to be healing up nicely

 

[CAC]

Good stuff, hope it all goes well

Infection is always possible with open wounds, but good job on the medicating. As far as I can tell, you've done what you could

just to update the wound has almost healed and it looks clean and healthy
