Propolis Wound Sealant for Koi

Propolis is a natural product derived from bees, commonly known as “nature’s antibiotic” due to its powerful antimicrobial properties. It is an excellent treatment for sealing wounds, ulcers, damaged fins, and Hikui (a skin disease affecting the red pigment in koi). When applied, Propolis creates a waterproof, waxy barrier that helps to protect the wound from pathogens and debris, promoting faster healing.

Application Instructions:

• Optional Sedation: If necessary, sedate the fish using Koi Calm before treatment.
• Dry the Wound: Carefully dry the wound area as much as possible.
• Apply Propolis: Spread Propolis directly onto the wound.
• Forming the Seal: Slowly lower the fish back into the water. As soon as Propolis contacts water, it forms a durable, waxy seal over the wound.
• Precaution: Avoid contact with the fish’s gills and eyes to ensure their safety.

Feeding Instructions:

Propolis can also be used as an antibacterial supplement for your koi. Simply add a few drops of Propolis to fish pellets in a plastic bag, shake well to coat the pellets evenly, and add more Propolis if necessary. This not only helps in healing but also boosts the overall health of your fish.

Key Features:

• Natural Healing: Propolis is a natural product that creates a waterproof barrier, sealing wounds and preventing infection.
• Antimicrobial Protection: Known as "nature’s antibiotic," Propolis protects against harmful bacteria and promotes faster recovery.
• Versatile Use: Can be applied directly to wounds or used as a food supplement to enhance the health of your koi.

When to Use:

Use Propolis to seal ulcers, damaged fins, open wounds, and Hikui after cleaning these areas with Koi Care Ulcer Swab antiseptic wound cleaner. For best results, ensure your pond’s water quality is optimal by testing it first with Pondlab test kits. This will provide the best environment for your fish to heal and thrive.
