I would hate to risk pulling him out before the proper treatment time is over and risk everyone getting infected again but I would also hate to have him die from a fungal or bacterial infection.

Any thoughts?

Laurie, it is advised to run the Cupramine treatment for 14 days. IMO the risk of stopping treatment too early and having the disease come back is too great. Instructions on the bottle say 14 days, so that is what I did.
