Urgent.. Koi Ulcers... I have no Potasium Prag...

I could not get potassium permaganate.. Something else was mention was to
use iodine on the area.. I could get neithier tonight at the local
pharmacy.. This is what I got, and I am thinking it might not hurt..Povidone
Iodine.. Which is the typical surgical prep stuff.. If someone can give me
an answer back ASAP I would appreciate it.. This Koi have cost me a lot of
money and I need to get them back to health ...

TIA... Tim

Now there's an idea... The plumbing supply... Anyone have a clue to what
kind of rate and with what I can mix the stuff with so I can apply it
correctly?

I used the prov Iodine yesterday to clean the ulcers up a bit.. To my
surprise they are not dead yet, although the ulcer's were bad enough to
expose bone for the fin's... This happened so quickly, and I do hope I have
caught it in time. The Koi are still fairly active, and they are young ones,
hopefully they find their will to get over the ulcers..I will retreat the
area again with the provodine iodine today and for the 5 following days to
see if I can save them.. Lordy knows they cost me $10 a piece and my cars
motor on the way home from the farm..

and have plain old drugstore peroxide on hand to neutralize when treatment is done.

Hey Ingrid, did you catch my reply in the other group about these fish...??

I think I am going to try the route I have taken.. I do hope the finnage
will grow back even though some bone material is exposed.. The redness has
resided ( there is some red inflmation still present ) since I used the
Provodone Iodine last night.. This has made me feel a lot better for the
fish' condition..

I presume the Isopropel Alc is to neutrealize the PP right.. Not the
Provodine Iodine ( in this case it is 10% Iodine )..

Whether it is iodine or PP, one treatment is usually all that is needed. It
burns the wound, in effect cauterizing it. Follow up treatment should be
done with a topical first aid treatment, like A&D ointment.

Opps. I went and gave the wounds another wipe with the Iodine... They
should be ok I would think.. Next time I will use A&D or perhaps should I
use Polysporin??

yes!! one treatment, altho I dont recommend PP treatment at all, especially not that
"paste" some recommend, this could cauterize right down to the bone. yeck.
but use creme, not oint. Ingrid
