Nedra,
Googling your pond size, posts show it to be 3000 gallons plus. As John
said, if you are having problems, double the dose. Other than the wallet,
it does not hurt anything, and really does help. I would not under dose. I
have had some problems pop up, even with regular dosing, and had to increase
to double.

I'm ready to be scolded or flamed ... whatever! I just got
my order of KoiZyme from KoiVet. I notice that I have to
know how many gallons of water are in the pond in order to
treat it. ... and here is the problem. My health has taken a
nosedive - I can't do
anything around the pond except water changes and adding
Koi Clay, Amquel etc.
Therefore, doing the testing to see how many gallons of water are
in the pond is not possible.
Can I ball park the dosage of KoiZyme - you know, treat
the pond using 2,000 gallons instead of a real number?
I thought the pond was a 3,000 gallons but now I'm not sure.

Yea Koizyme! It's cheap insurance compared to the alternative. There are
only 2 things I routinely add (weekly) to the pond: clay and Koizyme.

I've got a cycled sick tank with a filter on it, so water is good and
I
can
maintain the salt up and feed MediKoi just to the sick fish. From what
I
can see the ulcer is white. There is one under the dorsal fin that is
hard
to see, it was the worst, so I'll keep an eye on it for a bit.
As far as KoiZyme, I agree! Been using it since this all started and
next
year I'll be putting it in before problems arise. I'm really sold on
that
stuff now. ~ jan

You should be seeing signs that the ulcer is healing by now (getting
white-ish around the edges, maybe a "film" of new skin?) Photos I've
seen
indicate perhaps 25-50% healing in 2 weeks, depending on the initial
size.
Everything I've read says to return the fish to his "home" after the
final
treatment: usually, "home" has the best water quality, and the fish
likes
to
be back in its normal surroundings with its friends, so there's a
psychological benefit, also. (For those that may be reading this and
thinking that I'm anthropomorphizing, I'm not: koi are community fish
and
sulk if left alone - they like company.) Of course, water quality
should
be
top notch (if it's your pond, I'm not worried, but if it's someone
else's
pond, it needs to be emphasized). Me? I'd get some Koizyme (formerly
Lymnozyme) in there, too: you can't have too much help.
Good luck!

All fish in the pond are looking good too, I am wondering if I can
relax
yet?
Can anyone tell me how long it might take an ucler the size of a
quarter
to
heal up? Should one wait till it is completely healed before
returning
fish
to pond with its buddies? ~ jan
