Regular Member wondersowm Posted November 10, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted November 10, 2021 I am working with a fish vet and have furunculosis in my two oranda and ranchu tanks. It has been a long, tough road with numerous losses. My plan ris to do a pp dip and put the fish in a new tank with a new filter and use Stability bacteria. Nitrofurazone, hp and polysporin and even an injectable antibiotic did not work. I think this is the only way to possibly save my remaining fish. Please share with anyone you know that has has success overcoming furunculosis. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helper Arctic Mama Posted November 10, 2021 Helper Share Posted November 10, 2021 Unfortunately that’s not one I’ve treated, but do definitely take pictures and share what your vet advises as you treat so we can all learn from your experience here hoping the best for your fish! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin koko Posted November 11, 2021 Admin Share Posted November 11, 2021 I havent either. The only thing I could suggest is Methylene Blue it can help in fungal infections. So just a thought. I am sorry about this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member mjfromga Posted November 11, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted November 11, 2021 From what I gather - this disease is treated like KHV is in Koi. Once confirmed in fish - all the fish are deemed losses as they all are possible carriers even if asymptomatic. This disease is uncommon in goldfish - were you able to pinpoint the source of the infection? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member wondersowm Posted November 13, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 13, 2021 I think a fish came with them and I have had it in my tanks for a couple years. I got them from a seller who had a fish farm and got many goldfish and Koi in from China. They are currently in nitrofurazone in the two main tanks which seems to be slowing down the spread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member wondersowm Posted November 19, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2021 Nitrofurazone seems to be controlling it. One I moved the fish with any ulcers to one tank from two. In the other tank there have been no new signs of ulcers after the Nitrofurazone treatment. In the ulcer tank I am continuing treatment. I don't see them healing but they are not getting worse! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
