Product Information
Full details
The Colombo Medic Box is an essential health kit for pond owners and koi enthusiasts designed to provide immediate, professional-grade care for external wounds, ulcers, and abrasions on pond fish. By enabling rapid intervention, this kit helps owners treat infections early, potentially preventing the need for systemic antibiotics and ensuring a higher success rate for fish recovery; however, users must strictly follow the included dosage and handling instructions, as the process involves administering anesthesia to live animals.

FAQs
Can this be used on all types of pond fish?
Yes, it is designed for koi and other common freshwater pond fish.
Is the anesthesia harmful to the fish?
When used according to the precise instructions in the manual, it is a safe sedative to reduce stress during treatment. Do not overdose.
How long does the Propolis seal stay on?
The spray is designed to be waterproof and typically remains until the natural healing process begins, though it may wear off naturally over time.
Do I need to quarantine the fish after treatment?
While the fish can return to the pond, monitoring it in a quarantine tank is recommended if the wound is severe or if the pond environment is poor.
What should I do if the wound looks infected after a week?
If there is no improvement or the condition worsens, consult a fish veterinarian, as the fish may require antibiotics.
Troubleshooting
Fish does not become sedated after recommended dosage
Ensure the water volume in the treatment container is accurate and the anesthetic is thoroughly mixed. If ineffective, monitor the fish for an additional few minutes before considering a very slight adjustment, but never exceed recommended limits.
Wound spray does not stick to the fish
Ensure the area is dabbed dry with a clean cotton bud before application. The Propolis spray performs best on dry surfaces.

Before beginning, ensure you have a clean, wet towel prepared on a stable, non-abrasive surface. Always wear the provided gloves to protect both the fish from human oils and yourself from potential contact with disinfectants. The kit is compatible with most freshwater pond fish species, including Koi and Goldfish. After use, ensure the bottles are tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dark, and dry environment out of reach of children. Regularly check the expiration dates on the hydrogen peroxide and anesthetic to ensure maximum efficacy during an emergency.
