Hi Wanderer the only thing you can try is heat and salt dip.

Just a quick one to say, I lost the fish!
It servived a couple of days, started treatment advised to me by my local pond place but, didn't make it past today.

Thing is now, I'm thinking of applying some terafin to the hole pond to make sure no other fish get I'll.
