Pond leak

So my pond leak is fixed. Looks like it was the bolts to the skimmer box were corroded So make sure you guys check them if you haven’t for years. I changed them at the skimmer and waterfall box as well. Re siliconed both. Good to go. Better than a tear somewhere

Leukocytes urine strip

I take a dipstick at home every once in a while to make sure everything is fine. Everything is fine except I noticed leukocytes was elevated. I don’t have any symptoms at the moment. Is that incidental? Or just part of having IGA. I don’t remember having that before. Not sure. Are these at home strips accurate? I ran it under tap water and turned the r same color so I’m not sure
Thanks

Advice Metamucil

Been dealing with fissure for months. Dr said I’m going in the right direction last check up. Using the dietzem ointment , colace and Metamucil. I’m finding my stool now is softer but also larger so maybe this is hindering the recovery. Still get small blood when wipe. Should I stop the Metamucil and just take the colace ? Any advice?
Thanks

Pond update

So after putting microbe lift PL in and adding my winter aerator in the pond it looks great after 4 days I can see the fish now and the bottom. The greenish blue tinge is from the dye

Green water

Seem to be struggling with this all year. Usually it settles but not this year. Tried barley , shade dye , plants etc. I put algaecide in last night. Made a little difference. I have no string algae as I use the iogen by aquascapes. Any ideas ? I run a skimmer box for filter that pumps to a waterfall spill box. I have bio balls in that. Had the pond for many years but I’m getting frustrated with not having a clear pond
Thanks

Dead koi

What you think happened to him ? Only thing I can say is did was add some algacide lately. He did look a little beat up floating ?

Pond leak update

So I turned off the pump and water didn’t drop. So I used spray foam and black silicone to seal anything by the waterfall. Turned on at 7am and hasn’t moved from the mark yet. I’ll see where it’s at tomm morn. Hopefully I got it. Thanks for the suggestions. Pics show how it’s coming out more controlled out of the spillway now

Water loss

So I marked the water at 5am this morning and 12 hours later it’s about 1/2 to 3/4 inch lower. See marking. I do have a waterfall. I feel like I’m adding water more than usual. What you think ?
Thanks

Anemia from Iga ?

So my red blood cells , Hemoglobin and hematocrit have been trending down over the last year now to now I’m in anemia range. These are the latest results. My protein to urine is normal now for the first time since being diagnosed with iga I’m happy about. Is the anemia from the ckd and or filspari ?
Anyone else deal with this ?

Rotator cuff problem

I was on losartan. Stopped that last August and started Filspari and Jardiance. Around that time could be coincidence but started with rotator cuff issue. Tried PT. MRI showed a slight tear and some tendinitis. I was online and a reel from dr said that Losartan increases tendon tears by 6 fold I wonder if any of these lowering blood pressure drugs are gonna affect joints and muscles ?

My shoulder is hurting me. I’m having a rotator cuff injury. I been taking some Tylenol as I know Advil is not good for the kidneys. You think short term use of Advil will be bad ?

Any suggestions

Thanks
