Might be time to invest in a liquid test kit for ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and pH. You'll need it, especially once you get your 10 gallon up and running.
You can try some Melafix at 1/5 the dosage amount or BettaFix. Keep your water conditions pristine. Keep him warm.
If you are treating the poor guy, you should be doing regular water changes to keep his water absolutely pristine. How large is the tank? Can you provide photos?
Sorry, but I'm not sure how you can say the water is pristine without any tes kit to confirm that. It may look pristine, but looking clear is not the same as the water conditions being good for the fish. You could have perfectly clear but perfectly toxic water with a harmful ammonia or nitrite reading.
Please buy a test kit (lfs aren't known to be reliable in testing water) and find out your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate readings.
Yes and of course they'd be happy if your fish died and *shock horror* you ended up giving them more money for a replacement and/or medication for any remaining fish.
Next time ask them for the exact results and don't worry about the ph which, unless it has changed dramatically, isn't worth the worry that most aquarists feel.
