A couple on months after this 58cm Nagoshi Kindai Show landed she was attacked by bacterial infections and I have been nursing her for the past 16 months. Over the winter period I had a 2kw heater running full time and today she showed a very definite improvement from her last lift 6 weeks ago and to me it looks like she is at last on her way back to recovery. I received lots of help and advice from many Koi keepers over this period in time. Without their input and help this Kindai would have been long gone. A Gouteng Vet known to Julie from KoiCare mentioned he would have put her out months ago and said maybe we are hasty and that Koi is stronger than what we want to believe.

Today 20 September 2009 she made my day!!!! Thanks to all the advice from Julie at KoiCare and others, I can now relax and enjoy her.



On the road to recovery. Maybe its what I would like to see, to save on my electrical bill, the healing should now be faster in summer.



You will see her at a Show sometime in the future. LOL She must hold the record for the amount of times being put under over the last 16 months
Thank goodness for Knock-out, she recovers very fast and it seems to have very little side effect on her.



The mark is under the right pictorial fin close to the hart and luckily not spoiling her appearance. All the marks on the belly has cleared

Knap gedaan Bobby. Hopelik sal ek ook eendag die punt kan bereik waar ek genoegsame kennis het om my visse gesond kan kry. My koi wat sere gehad het, het almal gevrek voordat ek enige positiewe resultate kon bereik.

Amazing, thanks for sharing and well done.

Hi LG,

Jy moet net versigtig wees, die "velletjie" oor die wond is nog baie dun, dit neem ongeveer 12 maande voordat dit "sterk" genoeg is.

Enige stamp of irritasie (soos 'n vang net) kan dit weer laat skeur wat die probleem weer kan vererger.

Dit laat my dink aan die gesegde; "Aanhouer wen!"

Dankie julle
Stem saam met Pieter dis hoekom ek haar nou so min moontlik uithaal, dit gaan nog lank neem maar ek hoop die langer en warmer dae sal die proses bespoedig. Sy gaan nog lank in haar eie QT wees met maaitjie, sou die mannetjies haar nou wil stamp is dit weer nag.
Die pictorial spier lyk ook nou baie beter!
Ek weet nie of dit eiers is en of dit die daaglikse Low GI brood met peanut botter, heunig, garlic en antibiotica is nie, maar sy lyk goed rond.
As ek nader kom gaan die mond oop en wag sy vir kos!

WOW!!!!

Awesome, welldone on your commitment bobby!!!
