Here is an update on Lady for those who have followed her progress. Sorry I haven't posted, things became hectic around my household. Lady is doing wonderful. She is healing beautiful without infection. She had her first meal and first shed last week. After a month of shots, she perked up an then her appetite did as well. I have followed the Vets. instructions very carefully and the warmer temps for her tank really helped her healing process. I have experimented with many of the foods suggested on here, but she ended up choosing feeder fish in a bowl. She goes nuts with them in her bowl. Even when she is not eating them, she will jump in her bowl and chase them around for fun. Its fun to watch her personality grow. She is still blind in one eye, and when I reach out to handle her I learned to show her my hand on the side of her good eye. She does not like the surprise of not being able to see things. I will post some pics of her later today.

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear things are going well.
Just curious, what fish are you feeding?
Here's a link to the care sheet.
