就醫建議

建議幾天內諮詢專賣店

專賣店能做哪些處理？

A specialist aquarium store will evaluate the condition of the gills and water quality data to assess the likelihood and severity of infestation, advising on isolation, water quality improvement, and the appropriate course of action. Aquatic-animal veterinarians are limited in number, but facilities equipped with microscopy can provide more precise identification of the monogenean species involved.
