Fish Stress is caused by Fish Pathogens, Fish Parasites and FIsh Illness and Fish Infections are the natural outcome.

A.I. is generating a whole new wave of information to be re-purposed and re-posted in fish health web sites, by all kinds of people, most of whom don't even keep fish but want to populate a website to impress Google, and capture your Affiliate Ad dollar.

And in the process, will be giving out recycled, even incomplete or incorrect information about Fish Disease.

Aquarium health isn't going to be covered much better by these AI Generated resources. Fish Illness, same. People want to learn about fish symptoms but that's a problem because the fish symptoms of Ammonia poisoning are indistinguishable from the fish symptoms of PH crash.

Finally swinging around to Fish Treatment, the art of saving sick fish – which will be woefully lacking because current fish treatments are based on medications that are still, and actually available. Fish treatments like Clout, for example, are off the market but AI doesn't know this.

Fish Medicine is still rapidly developing but not much has changed in the fishes' lives. Water Quality is king.

Fish Parasites are almost-constantly a source of Fish Infection, because the parasites cause deterioration and stress in the fishes' skin, it's primary defense against disease. Fish infection is quick to take hold.

All of this including water quality are contributors to fish stress which is the primary if not-only cause of fish vulnerability to disease. Some would say that if the fish weren't stressed by handling, water quality or parasites, crowding or poor nutrition, they would be practically immune to disease.

A host of fish pathogens of many kinds including bacteria, viruses and fish parasites are ready to attack a vulnerable fish and all the fish medicine in the world won't save a fish that's still under Fish Stress.

Koi & Goldfish Infections

Bacterial infections are a common problem in Koi fish and can lead to serious health issues if not treated promptly. In this document, we will discuss the causes, diagnosis, pathogens, and treatment modalities available for bacterial infections in Koi.
Causes:
Bacterial infections in Koi fish can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor water quality, overcrowding, and stress. Other common causes include injury, parasites, and viral infections that weaken the fish's immune system and make them more susceptible to bacterial infections.
Diagnosis:
The diagnosis of bacterial infections in Koi fish can be challenging as many bacterial infections share similar symptoms. However, there are some common signs to look out for, including:
– Loss of appetite
– Lethargy and sluggishness
– Redness, swelling, or ulceration of the skin or fins
– Excessive mucus production
– Erratic swimming behavior
– Abdominal swelling or bloating
– Difficulty breathing
If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to seek veterinary care promptly to identify the cause and begin treatment.
Pathogens:
Several bacterial species can cause infections in Koi fish, including:
– Aeromonas hydrophila
– Pseudomonas aeruginosa
– Edwardsiella tarda
– Vibrio species
– Streptococcus species
These bacteria can enter the fish's body through wounds, gills, or the digestive system and can cause a range of infections, including skin ulcers, fin rot, and internal infections.
Treatment Modalities:
The treatment of bacterial infections in Koi fish depends on the type of bacteria and the severity of the infection. Some common treatment modalities include:
1. Antibiotics: Antibiotics are the most common treatment for bacterial infections in Koi fish. The choice of antibiotic will depend on the type of bacteria and the severity of the infection. Antibiotics can be given orally, injected, or added to the water.
2. Salt baths: Salt baths are a natural and effective way to treat bacterial infections in Koi fish. Adding salt to the water can help reduce the bacterial load and promote healing.
3. Water quality management: Proper water quality management is crucial for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections in Koi fish. This includes maintaining proper pH levels, temperature, and oxygenation, as well as performing regular water changes.
4. Wound care: If the bacterial infection is caused by an open wound, wound care is essential to prevent further infection. This includes cleaning the wound with an antiseptic solution and applying a topical antibiotic ointment.
In conclusion, bacterial infections are a common problem in Koi fish and can lead to serious health issues if not treated promptly. The key to preventing and treating bacterial infections in Koi fish is proper water quality management, prompt diagnosis, and appropriate treatment modalities. If you suspect your Koi fish may have a bacterial infection, seek veterinary care immediately.

My Favorite Seminar of the Year by Dr Erik Johnson

Special thanks to Garden State Koi and their amazing staff, Jesse Blitz in particular but the entire team is amazing. I mean, capable and nice and fun –  aka amazing. They've had a wintertime educational workshop 'most years' and they've included me in these a lot –  I usually go up and present some seminars on fish health, pond stuff, and then quite often, the Wet Lab where folks can see parasites under the microscope, on videos, learn about them, and their diagnosis and treatment.
It's all part of Tom Smith (Owner and President) of the company vision for educated customers, of any kind. Librarian, Fireman, resident, Installer –  everyone does better with more information.
They're in Warwick New York and they've kind of gotten to be this big, one-stop shop and they also service / supply contractors in the pond business. And they do it well.
I went up in March of this year. I gave a presentation and a wet lab and it was wonderful. I'll give you some information about Garden State Koi and if you wanna get into the next Wet Lab and seminar weekend –  reach out to them and they'll sign you up!  I bet if you ask 'em nicely they'll let you have a copy of the presentation I gave. It's only 50+ pages thick in color hahaha.

A Good Diet Recommendation for Pancreatitis and Renal Comorbidities

Making a diet with high quality, large proteins and a sweet potato (over simplified) is a good way to reduce or eliminate practical fat from the diet while providing the best proteins for management of renal function.
This article at DrJohnson.com is pretty thorough discussing the how and why of the diet, and it's an easy diet to make for a dog with BOTH pancreatitis and kidney disease.
The pancreas x kidney diet also describes how you could modify and feed this to your regular dogs, the ones that have NO kidney issues, and NO pancreatitis.
Here's the article describing home made diets for dogs with pancreatitis and kidney disease together:

Dr Johnson Haz Facebook Again

I consider Facebook to be invasive, distracting, and culturally manipulative. But, it's a platform that MOST people use.
I won't be “on there” much because I can't spend time in the rabbit hole. But I will post there from time-to-time.
So if you want another resource for pertinent dog, cat, pet, reptile and amphibian pocket pet help and information you should bookmark my pet health Facebook page:

2023 Happy Easter!

Why Can’t You Just Toss That Turtle or Koi?

Why can’t you just toss a pet turtle out into cold water or bring them into warm water during the off-season?


Like, if you have turtles that are used to it in the house it’s 69 to 79° and you want to put them out in the spring and it’s 48°, why would that hurt them?

Or, if it’s in the middle of the summer, and for some reason they go down to 55° because of a water line break, why does that kill them?

https://drjohnson.com/why-cant-you-put-fish-and-turtles-in-chilly-water/

Cold blooded animals are able to survive in these temperatures because they have what are called iso enzymes. They have enzymes that allow their metabolism to perform in the heat of the summer, but it is yet another set of enzymes that allows them to perform in practically ice water in the winter time. Something we cannot do.
