its a bit warm for carp pox

that looks like fin rot , with a bacterial infection .

do you have bad water days ?? ie , ammonia or nitrite high ??

i would sedate him , give him a good wash and clean with wound seal and cleaner on the affected area , then add acriflavine to the pond , and keep adding it as described until it has started to heal

Thank you I have a bottle of acriflavine would you treat the whole pond with this or take him out and treat seperatley.

I have never treated a koi apart from adding treatment to the pond, so no idea how to sedate etc

Pond levels were good last time I checked.

if you have a large enough holding tank thats filterd , take him out , but if you dont , just treat the whole pond , as any ammonia or nitrite in the new holding tank , will have the opposite affect on what yout trying to do

if you treat the whole pond , cut back on feeding , and make sure you got plenty of air going in

Would you use Propolis as a wound sealer?

[Gill & Rod]

Thanks for your advice, the koi has been treated and popped back in the pond. Will keep you updated thanks again.

When treating with acriflavine how often should we treat the pond, one bottle says once a week and the other says every 3 days x 3 times

when i used it i dosed at 7 day intervals

Thank you, for how long?

The koi already looks a lot better compared to what he was like, I hoping this will help further
