Lucky you for catching it early--maybe it was the ill advised pond scum he ate that really produced the soft stool--what's going on now? |
Thanks for the reply, dobebug
Hopefully once the hooks are taken care of his stools will firm up and I won't have to worry about changing his diet. He may have more hooks than what was showing on the slide, depending on what stage the adults are in and if they're currently shedding eggs or not. Hard to say. So I'll just treat it aggressively and hopefully knock it out completely. I picked up all the poop in the yard today too. And I'll be switching to the Interceptor and hopefully have better coverage.
I don't know how to get him to stop eating that dratted pond scum - unless I keep him out of the water completely... which I'd hate to do because he loves it so much
