Hi Andrew
If you can not get your fish scoped then you can always try the shotgun approach (not recommended). Make sure salt level in pond is below .1%. Use proform C 3 days in a row with 20% water changes in between each treatment. next step use Prazi leave in pond 5 to 7 days. No water changes while doing prazi treatment. MAKE SURE UV LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF DURING BOTH TREATMENTS THE ENTIRE TIME. Prazi comes in liquid and powder form I prefer the liquid it is easier to measure and there is no problem with it breaking down like the powder form. Powder form requires using a gram scale to get accurate measurements. Buy from a reputable koi dealer not a pet store don't bring friends koi into your pond. QT all fish

This could have all been avoided if you had QT your fish.
1. Build a QT tank
2. suggestion get a book on koi heath care, Dr. Nicolas Saint-ernn has an excellent one called Advanced koi care.
3. Get a microscope
