Hi guys

I'm wondering if you can tell me what I can access to treat an injury to a seahorses tail (a mussel was the culprit believe it or not).

I have on hand StressGuard and Blue Meth

I know some SeaChem products can not be imported into Australia but I noted there is a product called "Reef Dip" that seems quite interesting ... but it only talks about the suitability for corals.

Would something like this dabbed on the tail of the seahorse assist in healing. She is currently hitching and doing okay but I am worried an infection could happen and spread.

Any tips would be very helpful ...

Reef Dip is intended for use on corals and anemones only. For your situation, I would recommend using StressGuard. What makes StressGuard very successful at healing is the fact that it contains protein active colloids. This protein active colloidal agent actively seeks out any wounds, abrasions, or places where exposed proteins are and attaches to this area to help directly deliver the disinfectant in the product and start the healing process. This protein active colloid, because it binds to the exposed proteins, also acts like a liquid bandage to the abrasion.
