Topical Remedy of Ulcers

Topical treatments for koi ulcers and body sores have ranged from Iodine in the olden days, more recently, hydrogen peroxide. These have one thing in common: They excoriate or burn the adjacent tissues.

  • Panolog- Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, helps healing. Can work alone.
  • Tincture of Iodine – cauterizes, applied directly, stains badly. Very effective. 7% best
  • Hydrogen Peroxide – Elegant! Very effective, no staining, cauterizes, antibacterial, safe.
  • Mercurachrome – Stains for a very long time, safe for humans, effective, good choice. Do not scrub.

Tips for toplcal treating of koi body sores and ulcers:

  • Only treat meat-red, bloody wounds
  • Don't treat pink wounds directly.
  • Do not scrub if wound is tidy and neat.
  • When wound is pink with white rim – LEAVE IT ALONE
  • Do not scrub healing wounds

There is little doubt that the average hobbyist would be best served to combine Medi-Koi medicated food and antibacterial bath or topical treatment together to recover their fish. Not only are the treatments effective, they are also cost effective.
