Can this heal a badly torn/bitten fin?

My fish had terrible tail rot. It was so bad he literally had no fins and was just floating in the tank but as soon as I started using this, his fins grew back almost instantly. I used it for 2 weeks and his fins are bigger & brighter than before! It will turn your tank cloudy and smells like vaporub but it works if used correctly. I definitely would try it.

I only know that it worked on my Betta's fins. His fins that were scraped and tattered responded almost immediately to the use of this product! I used it for 1 week and then every other day after that for a another week. He healed almost completely! I never noticed any smell or cloudiness during the time we used it in his water. I also believe that keeping the water cleaned regularly helps keep anyone's beta fish live longer and healthier lives. I keep Melafix on hand in case we need it again. Cannot hurt to give this product a try. I hope this works for your pet fish! :)

Yes it can. It wil speed up the healing process. What it can't heal is fin cartilage. Once that is gone the fin will never be the same, but at least it won't be an open wound.

That is what it is made for. Although you might have to get creative if the wound is in an area where a dogs mouth can reach. I've had to resort to a sock sprayed with bitter wrapped over the bandage so they don't chew it off.

Hi ... Sorry about the fin rot! Can you find a product called API Bettafix? Some people say it's safer for bettas than Melafix, though some have used Melafix and it's been fine. I see that Amazon does have Bettafix! That's what I would do -- better safe than sorry. If you're at a store, though, and they just have Melafix and you want to start something right away, go ahead and get it and then Google to find the right dose for bettas. I think that would be OK until you get the right product. If you need more help, please don't hesitate to ask! Good luck to you and Glimer. We had amazing results, so I hope you will, too.

The dog will lick it off its so good! Which may not help the healing process. Though I bet this honey can help heal wounds.

No I don't think so but I am using it on an injury to keep it moist so I really don't know for sure.

Yes, you can cut the patch to the size you need, cut it a little biter than the sore & it adheres like magic.

Its not for healing broken nails, I use triple antibioticPlus pain relief, mushers helps protect paws not treat them!

Use as much as is necessary to stop/control the bleeding until you can get to a hospital. This is not meant to be a permanent "fix" and there is no set amount to use on specific circumstances. Especially on a severe wound, there's no reason to use this stuff sparingly.

The fin might not be growing back, that takes a bit. You don't want to put too much in the tank as it decreases the amount of oxygen. So I would put the charcoal back in the filters and see how it goes from here. The fin should stop receding and start to regrow. PimaFix can safely be used with MelaFix to provide the added benefit of quick tissue regeneration and wound healing. I quite often use them together.

It may help..the best thing would be to consult your vet. We bought it for a dog who had a severed calcanean (achilles tendon) and actually used it backwards while waiting for a custom orthotic brace to be made. The device was well made and accomplished its purpose. I showed our vet the image and description before ordering.

Yes. I bought it for my dog when he had a shaved area on his paw from an IV. He did not pull it off, and the area healed quickly because he couldn't lick it. The bandage sticks to itself with no adhesive. I now always have a supply around.

Worked great on my mom's wound. Even when it got wet. But wresting involves so much more. Don't know. Sorry.

It is my understanding that koi and tetra are not compatible in the same tank for a variety of reasons. The missing/red fin could be an infected injury, in which case it is probably only a threat to the injured fish. Or it could be a fin-rot type infection, in which case there is the risk of infecting all the other fish. Either way, you need to treat the water right away. use the recommended dosage of Melafix for your size tank, and repeat the treatment for 6-7 days. The infected fish will either die or get better, but you will likely keep the other fish from getting sick. If you think it is a result of an injury, then adding a little pond salt also helps with the healing process. Good luck!

I've been using this for wound healing for a few yrs..I had a reculse spider bite that my Dr. said I would need plastic surgery to close up damaged skin wound I put manuka honey on a piece of sterilized cause & taped it to the area that needed healing & it healed is abt a week & when I went back to Dr. he couldn't believe it was healed with honey but this stuff works...just had a couple of basal cell skin cancer removed I did the same put some on a sterilized piece of gauze taped it to my skin with paper tape...at night when I went to bed for one week & it healed the cut (wound) Dr. made to remove the basal cells & it healed without a scar it fused together can hardly tell where the incision was to remove basal cells...I love this stuff it's so natural & I believe it would heal any wound in a short period of time..

Not that I know of. It clears fin rot perfectly. Sores, too. I believe Jungle Buddies have ICH clear, but it might kill your beneficial bacteria so read the instructions CAREFULLY. Amazon sells Jungle Tank Buddies ICH Clear, too. Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/Jungle-TB625W-Buddies-Tablets-8-Count/dp/B0002561OM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

Yes. but I would definitely use a patch for extra strengh. If it's a tear try and patch inside and out. Good Luck.

This is no a gel, this is a liquid with higher viscosity than that found in water. Allows the absorption to be fast and place itself (subcutaneously - under the skin) to start the healing process. Hope this helps.
