      Anytime you inject a koi with anything the risk exists that the fish will sucomb to either the injection itself or the handling. I've lost only one and that was at the recommended dose at the recommended %% of Baytril. So you are right, it is hard to know for sure.

      Hi Sue,

      This is the first time that I have lost a koi after injecting it, in over 15 years of koi keeping, so naturally i was shocked to see that the koi had died. I did not do a necropsy, so I will never know for sure what killed the koi. You can be sure that I will pay much closer attention to the percentage of the Baytril and the inection dosage tables from now on. Thanks for the feedback.

      Also - know how fish length was determined for the table you are following, especially for smaller koi. When benching koi, the tail is included, but the standard for vets is to exclude the tail (since doses are based on weight).

      Phil.. You can dose a relatively healthy (minimally septic) fish with Baytril at a 10X overdose.
      I've used 10% at a 2.7 dose with no issues ( other than my buzz )

      Once the renal system is compromizzed the koi is done.

      Hi Blammo,

      Thanks for the Info. The koi in question did not have a large sore, so I was quite supprised by its death. I guess stuff just happens sometimes.
