Toby has had a fungal infection now for at least 2 months. I didn't notice it at all until the day I moved him to a friend's house to care for him while I was out if the country for 2 weeks. It's my first time experiencing something like this, so I didn't know how serious it was and when I came back I found that it had gotten pretty bad.
Now I'm using a treatment found on Japanese websites (I live in Japan). It's a home remedy of bathing him in Isojin... A kind of Japanese gargling medicine. The internet says it can also be called Isodine. Japanese language forums swear by it for curing fungus. I apply it heavily with a towel and then dry dock him. He hates being dry docked, and aside from the coloration (that has completely stopped growing now...but isn't going away), he seems perfectly healthy. He's very active, eats a lot and always wants more, and overall seems happy/healthy.
...but the white coloration isn't going away...
Should I be doing more?
Is this slowly killing him while I'm thinking he's happy/healthy?
I'm trying to upload photos from my iPhone, but it says the filesize is to big. I'll try to figure out how to shrink iPhone photos.
