often, home town pharmacists (non-chain, esp but some chains as well)
will have clove oil.

I expect that clove oil is soluble in isopropanol as well, but you
could always pick up some denatured ethanol in most pharmacies.

As far as when you euthanize -
I empathize with you. I had to destroy a whole bunch of fundulus a
few years ago due to lymphocytosis.

What I looked-in-was whether I was willing and able to maintain strict
isolation between the contaminated fish and the rest of my fish. I
decided that I could not, so they died. It was better than never
being able to keep fundulus again.
