This is a current photo, still eating well, not deteriorating; but I think time to end his life;

Euthanasia- abdominal sewelling ? Impacted eggs DSC01041-2

I believe clove oil is used, some say with vodka? I will catch him in a bucket, and with the correct dose will gradually let him go.

Advice please on clove oil, dosages, (does one get it at the local pharmacy?) etc

From:

http://www.koionline.co.za/medication.htm

"CLOVE OIL

Clove oil is a natural product ideally suited for Anaesthesia and the active ingredient is Eugenol.

Procedure for anaesthesia:
1 Add pond water to a bucket big enough to cover the gills of your koi and aerate the water.

2 Calculate the amount of water in the bucket.

3 Add 2 drops of clove oil per 1 liter of water in the bucket. (0.5 ml / liter) Because oil and water does not mix well, I first mix it with some of the bucket water by putting it in a small container which I then shake well before adding it to the bucket. An empty cool drink bottle works well. This also prevents you from accidentally releasing to much oil into the bucket.

4 Add the fish to the container and cover it for with a wet towel to prevent it from jumping out.

5 The fish should start to roll over a bit after 3 - 7 minutes. If not, add a bit more clove oil. The bigger the fish, the more required, and different batches of clove oil has different strengths. Gill movement will become slower, but should not stop. When adequately sedated, you should be able to lift it with support in the center and the tail should not flex much.

6 Now you can take the fish out of the bucket and place it onto the wet towel for treatment. Ensure that there are a soft surface. A bubble rap sheet works quite good. Hold the fish down with the same or another wet towel as it might jump.

7 Now you can treat. Work as fast as possible and get the fish back into the pond(supported) or another aerated bucket with clean water as soon as possible. It should recover within a few minutes.

8 If you only need to do a scraping, a half dosage can be used, although you don't even have to sedate the koi if you have experience in doing a scraping.

To euthanise koi:

Add 20-25 drops/liter of Clove oil to the bucket
It will send the fish into a peaceful deep sleep, from which it will not regain consciousness and will pass away painlessly.
