Scraping off zoa pox?????

[Sir Patrick]

You can scrape these off??? really????

Just caught wind of it, and just doesnt sound right.....

More info is appreciated! Hate to have this process become a common practice, if its not possible.

Never heard that myself, but I agree it doesnt really sound right

I would not, I would dip aggressively in iodine and tank water. Maybe QT it so others are not at risk of catching it.

I have personally been a fan of the furan-2 for zoa pox.

Anyone else hear about this scraping zoa pox off your polyps???? Are people really doing this??

[raptor]

Never tried the furan2. I have it may have to try it next time.

Scraping them off is not an effective method of combating zoa pox. Dips in either Furan or as Raptor mentioned iodine and tank water.

I would think that would be about as effective as scraping off chicken pox in order to cure it or prevent it from spreading. Furan 2 or iodine dips; unfortunately, both require removal of the affected polyps for effective treatment.

I would love to read the thread on it if anyone has a link. Thanks.
