Koi enteritis is mainly caused by improper feeding or unclean feeding. If the situation is not serious, you can stop feeding first, and then raise the water temperature in the fish tank by 2-3 degrees Celsius, so as to promote their metabolism. If the enteritis is serious, the feed can be soaked in garlic water or directly fed with garlic feed. Then the fish tank is sterilized and disinfected. If it is not effective, norfloxacin or norfloxacin should be used.
What causes koi enteritis? How to treat it?

1. What is the cause

of koi enteritis? Koi enteritis is a common disease in the process of feeding, mainly because of poor water quality or improper feeding. For example, water has not been changed for a long time, or unclean or spoiled food has been fed. When koi suffer from enteritis, they will suffer from loss of appetite and activity, and their feces will be abnormal. Generally, the feces of koi with enteritis will turn white and the anus will become red and swollen. When the enteritis is serious, the koi will refuse to eat and stop moving. They will even lie motionless at the bottom of the tank, and their fins will be congested and their abdomen will be red.

After koi suffers from enteritis, the breeder needs to decide the treatment plan according to different symptoms:

if the situation is not serious, the breeder only needs to stop feeding and raise the water temperature by 2-3 degrees Celsius to promote their metabolism. In this way, Koi can rely on their own resistance to heal.

If the enteritis has reached the middle stage and the stool has turned white, the breeder can treat it with garlic. If the koi is still eating, the feed can be soaked in garlic water or directly made into feed for feeding, which can effectively treat enteritis.

If the enteritis is already serious or the effect of garlic is not good, the breeder needs to feed them some drugs such as norfloxacin or norfloxacin. If it is impossible to feed, it is necessary to dissolve the medicine in water and let the koi fish take a medicinal bath. During the treatment period, the fish tank should be disinfected to avoid re-infection of Koi.
