You never heard of quinine sulfate at the Georgia Aquarium?Or praziquantel and levamisol?They are much more expensive but isn't it worth it in the case of a Whale Shark?Organophosphates are much more indiscriminate than these other compounds.It seems to me that one should try to err on the side of caution when entering unknown territory.Mind you that I have no problem
with your keeping a Whale Shark,but the thought process that went into determining the proper course of treatment if it is as you say was definitely suspect.I wish you better luck next time.
By the way what did the necropsy determine the actual cause of death to be?
