Question about Peroxide and Red Sores

[Kodiak]

For topical treatment of Red Sores, Ingrid/Joann recommend
an application of Peroxide or Mercurochrome,
followed with a dab of Neosporin or Panalog.

Is the Peroxide basically the one you buy at the pharmacie?
What concentration should I look for on the bottle?
Can i use Polysporin instead of Neosporin?

many thanks... ...Kodiak

I don't remember, it is pretty low.

Don't know, check the active ingredients list. My guess is that
polysporin is a generic form of Neosporin (tm).

OTC H2O2 is usually 5%, you should dilute by half.
I've used full-strength on fish with no long term
effects, but I suspect it does sting.

Actually, I think Neosporin is just bacitracin; Polysporin
contains that plus some other unpronounceable string of consonants.
Either will do nicely. I think the ones to avoid are the ones
that have "...Plus" in the name, which indicates the presence
of a pain-killer.

HTH,
Gunther - still kickin' it in NoCal.

Gunther got Donald to get his fat a$$ out of the chair do a google and
actually look in the medicine cabinet:

Good guesses, but wrong!

http://www.healing-aid.com/conaffairs/neosporin.shtml
http://www.healing-aid.com/conaffairs/polysporin.shtml

Neosporin = Bacitracin, Neomycin, Polymyxin.
Polysporin = Bacitracin, Polymyxin (for those alergic to neomycin)

Anyhow, the OP should look for generic verions of the above. Same active
ingredients, same dosages, 1/3 the price.

How many days approx, should it take for the red sores to start receeding?
Should I be expecting immediate results?

the slime coat normally blocks bacterial infection. only if there is mechanical
damage (spawning, sucking fish, sharp objects in tank) or, if there are parasites
actively getting under the slime coat can bacteria get in. sores are almost always
bacterial infection.
always treat for parasites first.
1. peroxide dip for flukes
2.PP in the water is great for everything except flukes or ich, quick cure if there
is ich. PP also kills columnaris
3. salt in the water to stimulate slime coat
4. if the fish is otherwise really healthy gills, a quick salt dip to strip off the
slime coat and then into fresh water tub to tub to reduce the number of cooties in,
on, under the slime coat.
5. once parasites are removed, then run heat up to 84oF to kill off aeromonas
between salt and getting rid of parasites, and maybe topical treatment sores heal
very fast. I have seen sores heal in 2-3 days with good treatment, pristine water.
I do feed antibiotic food however.

What is PP? I bought this product called CLOUT.
they are Tabs for Flukes, Argulus, Ick, Leeches, Hexamita, and Lernia.
Is that equivilent to PP?

If I use CLOUT (above) do i even need a peroxide or Salt DIP or skip that
all together?
Do I do a SALT DIP, a Peroxide DIP or both? Which first?

Thanks in advance Ingrid,
You are a wealth of good info...

I would never use clout, is too strong. "tabs" are also too strong

for flukes use peroxide dip.
http://users.megapathdsl.net/~solo/puregold/disease/treatment/treatment2.htm#peroxide_dip

for chilondenella, trichs, costia, etc. AND columnaris bacteria use PP
http://users.megapathdsl.net/~solo/puregold/disease/treatment/trtmnt.htm#POTASSIUM

for lernea and argulus use Anchors away which has dimilin

1st step in treating parasites is salt dip to strip slime coat as long as gills are
bright cherry red

So Salt dip in 3% salt (1/2 cup of salt per gallon) for 30seconds to 3
minutes or just when fish keels over.
Then for flukes follow with Peroxide DIP 1 part 3% peroxide (like in drug
store) 9 parts water
dip for 10 SECONDS ONLY , and finally swab with peroxide or mercurochrome
with topical application of Neosporin? Finally treat tank with 0.1% salt
solution (1 tblspoon/5gal).

Did I get all that correct?

yup. except do the dips with a few hours or even 24 hours between them. and change
water, change water, change water. clean water is the best medicine of all. Ingrid

I do a dechlorinated 30% water/gravel siphon once a week. I will up that to
twice a week.

Do I need to purge the tank of residual parasites or can I safely put him
back in the same tank?

Does 0.1 to 0.3% salt harm the biobugs in the filter?

if there are no fish in teh tank, go ahead and do a 100% water change in the tank.
0.1 wont hurt the biobugs, dont know about 0.3%
