So I used Draxxin because a couple of time I made Draxxin for respiratory desease on calves and I noticed that if they had other injury, they heal really fast. I think that Draxxin has a respiratory AMM, but has also some other good effect on cicatrization.

I didn't want to use Nuflor because of trhe muscular problems and the sickness of the product. Draxxin can be injected very easy and fast, so less stress for the koï.

I could have use A180 (fluorokinolone long action, 5 days !) wich is good for skin problems, but also toxic for the kidney and as I did not know the dosage for Koï ...

Draxxin is given for calves 1 ml/40 Kg, knowing that you can go 10 times the dose without any problems and that my koi was around 1.5 Kg, I went for 0.3 ml becaus we normaly inject higher dose on Koï (Nuflor is also used on koi about 10 time more that what we use on others animals) .
But that's like gambling on pocker.
