These meds 1k% DO work
I'm always very skeptical on using meds for my fish, I believe in over board on filtration over using any sort of additive but this stuff 100% works. The most recent time I used these meds was I noticed bruises/damaged scales on one of my fish can only assume from raming the tank, it looked bad for quite a few days and litterly 24hrs after adding this the fish would clearly be healing. With how quick my fish have healed after adding this I 100% believe it works

YOU SAVED MY BELLY UP FISH
You saved a goldfish. He was in a quarantine tank belly up for WEEKS. I had him on kanaplex and metroplex... Seachem... nothing was helping. He was barely eating (if at all?!). I finally just found this and was like he DOES have cloudy eye and this started with an ulcer on his belly, so let's do this (btw, I'm taking care of this goldfish for family - it ain't even mine! I don't have fish!). Started him on this and then force fed him some frozen fish food while he lay there belly up and then two days later... WOO! The goldfish is upright as if nothing happened. Thank you!

Worked for severe fin rot/open wound healing but lacks some information in the directions
This product works well. I bought this for my black moor who had severe fin rot with open wound. I will say, when doing this treatment or any other treatment to fast your fish for a week. That part is not stated in the directions for treatment (of this product or bother product). Otherwise it makes the quality of the water even worse with the medication and food bacteria together. It will also prolong the healing process because the food bacteria works against the medication making the medication less potent for your fish. You also have to pay close attention and do some math for the dosing measurements. I had a 5 gallon hospital tank so a whole packet (recommended 1 packet dosage for a 10 gallon tank was too much - so I had to divide it in half). You will see slight surface foam when treating but that goes away after a day or so. The water also gets tinted with a reddish/pinkish hue. I also did a 50% tank change instead of the recommended 25% Now I will say this - it worked well for healing the open wound part - but not knowing (initially) about not feeding during treatment left me frustrated and feeling like it wasn't working so well or as fast as it should. I did end up switching over to Melafix to finish treatment process. Depending on the severity of the illness of your fish - time, patience, research specific to your fish, figuring out proper dosage measurements to the size of your hospital tank and constant changes of water will help them get back to normal.

Great for pet rats
Even though this product is meant for fish, we use this for our pet rats and works great with respitory issues. No odor, comes in packets. Does NOT include directions for rats, consult your vet for that. It is healthy if directions are followed. Good value for money. Size is perfect for what is needed. Is a powder.

chicken owner approved
needed Doxycycline to treat my chickens for a respiratory infection but didn't want to pay for a vet appointment. this cleared up the sneezing in the coop after a few days. chicken dosage: 1 pack = one gallon of water. keep it out of direct sunlight as it loses efficacy after UV exposure

On the fence...
The product seemed to work with the first dose, which is 2 days of adding the powder. Fish definitely feels better, but when we did the water change and added the second dose I started noticing that there was more blood in her fin, and on her back near her tail... Bumps on the fin, as well as peeling skin near her tail... So I called the fish store near me and they said to do a 50% water change instead of 25% and put the carbon filter in. Already noticed improvement in the Fin and tail by diluting the treatment... Frankly I used less than what was called for on both doses. Concerned about overdosing.. also when they said the treatment causes water to turn this slightly yellow, her water was more like a dark brown, which was concerning too... Still having some issues, but doing better, so I'm going to use a different medication that was suggested to me... So as I said, I'm on the fence because she is doing a little bit better, but that seemed to stop at a certain point, and created more issues externally.. the photo I submitted shows the color of the water now which is quite a bit lighter than it was. This is the color of the water after a 50% water change and using a carbon filter... I have a feeling it's going to be a long time before the water color gets back to normal...

Fantastic product! Highly recommend.
I had a badly injured fish that was almost dead. A brick had fallen on his head. I isolated him in a hospital tank with salt, heater, air stones and this product. After 3 weeks he was healed. He’s back in his pond now and doing great. I highly recommend this!
