Not a veterinary antibiotic and not a treatment. Do not use this powder to treat a suspected infection. Respiratory signs need an avian veterinarian. General wellness language on a label is not a diagnosis or a prescription.
Skip unless an avian veterinarian approves: breeding, egg-laying, or juvenile birds; bleeding disorder; surgery; anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication.
If the bird is ill, takes medication, or has a chronic condition, review the pouch and talk with an avian veterinarian before repeated use. Stop and get help for vomiting, diarrhea, appetite loss, weakness, unusual bruising or bleeding, or a change in appetite, droppings, behavior, or condition.
Bird size
- Finches, canaries, and budgies: extra conservative amounts
- Cockatiels, lovebirds, parrotlets, and similar companion birds: still sparing, sized to the bird
- Larger parrots: only with guidance for that individual bird and its diet
No measured serving is stated. Follow the pouch you receive and get avian-veterinary guidance before repeated use.
