    how long do i treat sick hatchling once she's better?

    thank you for for your response. i appreciate your time. i guess i should have been more clear. i was trying to summarize and didn't want the post to be too long. i got her first (end of spring) and she was alone until the two others came along (about 2 weeks ago) and the problems started well...

    i have some questions that i am hoping someone can help to answer. i have a baby leo that i think is sick and I'm not sure how long to continue treatment now that she seems to be improving. jeff was hatched around march/april i think and she was very little when I got her (26g). she initially...
