Despite what some have thought I am glad you didn't give up. This battle is not over but wow I am impressed with is progress. That fish has a lot of life left and fight left in him, don't give up keep up the treatment!
It looks like new tissue growth! It looks like you've been working your butt off!
Good job with your water changes! He's doing great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, even though he's healing and looking better you HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH THOSE WATER CHANGES DAILY!!!! Which I am sure you are- I just have to say it because too many people see progress and skip a day here or there- that could seriously hinder the progress and even lead to death.
He's made it this far with such an attentive owner doing everything he can, if you keep up what you're doing he'll make it!!!!!
This has been an amazing thread, and I thought it would be cool to upload pictures of the shark from the first postings to the present. A chronicle of his amazing journey from injury to his recovery, thus far.
This tough little shark is not out of the woods yet, but he is a fighter and we are all pulling for him. He has made an amazing recovery, so far, thanks to his hardworking keeper, Danomind, and thanks to the helpful advice and support of AC members: all who helped support and encourage Dano in this, but especially the dynamic duo of Viva and Vader, who jumped on this thread "like a duck on a junebug" providing immediate emergency care instructions for Dano.
Danomind, don't let down your guard where this guy's recovery is concerned. He's not over this yet, and it is vital that you keep up the diligent work that you have been doing for this him.
Keep up those daily water changes. He is healing, but don't let that lull you into a false sense of security. He's got a good long ways to go.
Please keep us updated on his condition, and post pics as often as you can.
