EMERGENCY MEDICINE CHEST
My recommended Emergency Medicine Chest consists of the following:
- Dechlorinator (a must have if you use city water) -OR-
- Ultimate Full Function Water Conditioner which will also detoxify ammonias
- PraziPond Plus for fluke infestations
- Tricide Neo for bacterial ulcer disease as well as mouth rot and fin rot
- Test Kits to check your water quality (pH, Ammonia, Nitrite & Nitrate)
With these products, along with a copy of the Koi Health & Disease book by Dr Erik Johnson, even novice pondkeepers can head off a lot of problems at the pass, thus eliminating frantic phone calls and extremely expensive overnight shipping. Try to keep in mind that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
