If your seahorse has a bacterial disease try Neo 3. It's available at seahorsesource.com Seahorse bacterial infection can be quite serious and usually require a different dosage then most marine fish. This dosagte is up to 5x the box directions for some meds. Neo3 is designed for seahorses.

neo3 is neomycin and triple sulfa combined in one capsule. in fairness, while it's easy to use - you can purchase both drugs separately and dose individually. liquid neomycin can also be found as "biosol" at feed stores. there are a number of other antibiotics that can be used as well.
what symptoms does your horse(s) have? wild caught? captive bred? pen-raised? let us know and we may be able to help.
i am currently using Furan 2 but won't muddy the waters here, so to speak, on why i am using it. as a first choice antibiotic i would use something like neomycin/triple sulfa, gentamycin, etc. but we need to know a little bit more about the symptoms your horse is displaying. i'm not as quick to reach first for antibiotics at the first sign of trouble, there are a number of diseases with symptoms similar to bacterial infections.
