Lecture with Dr Nick
How to Scrape Koi and using Microscope to detect parasites
We are going to be having a virtual session where Dr Nick will teach us about how to scrape and identify parasites on your koi using a microscope. As we are starting to think about the upcoming spring and warmer weather, we need to start thinking about getting our koi ready to come out of winter. As we start to see our koi come out of their slumber, we start to see an increase in parasites. These can come from various wildlife that visits your ponds, so it's important to be able to identify these. Scraping your koi is a sure way to inspect your koi's slime coat for potential problems. Proper identification of the parasite will prevent wasted money on ineffective treatments and undue stress of medications that do not help them get rid of the parasites. Knowing how to scrape your koi without causing them stress and then being able to identify the parasites helps you keep your koi healthy!
Join us for this Saturday morning session where we learn from Dr Nick! Please RSVP so we can make sure you have the pre-session materials.
