Sorry not been about much as I been a bit busy so having a catch up and what a great result. Alot of credit has to go to the Koi but also the water it is being kept in, it must also be top notch otherwise the Koi wouldn't be able to heal like it is. Duncans knowledge and expertise has played a massive role as well but Paul you have done a great job and should feel rightly proud of the progress.
Duncan, is their differant strains of the virus which is why the Chagoi took more agressive treatment to heal than Steve's Koi, my Bekko had a very small spot on the head by the top of gill plate and it took one treatment and it healed, I scraped it down to the bone cleaned topical treated and it cleared up, I treated it quickly as I didn't have the wart treatment but didn't want to leave it so when I caught it to treat it as per insructions in this post it had virtually cleared up and the last time I looked which was when I bagged it for the move you could barely see anything had been wrong, which is why i was wondering if there are differant strengths of the virus
