I (as well as othere I assume) will be interested in what Purdue says! Are you running down to Lafayette?
I may not. I've got a few customers screaming for their fish mounts and others that aren't picking them up so I'm not sure I can afford to take the time off. And I talked to a trout farmer who told me it will probably be a waste of time. He says it will take a few weeks to get the results and by then I may have lost a fair amount of fish. (He's right. I once sent some fish down, and it took a month for the results to come back, and they refused to make an educated guess or advise a treatment in the mean time. I lost almost all of those fish which were crappies.
The trout farmer says if it was him he would throw a broad spectrum antibiotic at them, which I do have some but not enough for the full five days. I'm ordering some right now.
He contends, as does another trout farmer, that they are in peak spawning mode and that spells stress. On top of that another vet and one of the trout farmers thinks they may be fighting which is doing damage to their skin which lets in bacteria.
