What it is used for

Retail labels for 20% avian doxycycline commonly list support for susceptible bacterial disease, including respiratory infections and organisms associated with:

  • Psittacosis / ornithosis (Chlamydia psittaci)
  • Mycoplasma-related respiratory disease
  • Other susceptible systemic bacterial infections

Not effective against viruses, fungi, or parasites. If birds do not improve, reassess with a vet — other causes may be involved.

How to use | Common label directions

  • 1 teaspoon (about 5 g) per 1 gallon of drinking water
  • Offer treated water as the only water source during treatment
  • Mix fresh every day; discard leftover medicated water
  • Keep drinkers out of direct sunlight when possible

Typical course lengths on retail labels: many list 7–10 days for general susceptible infections; longer courses (often around 30 days) are discussed for chlamydial disease under veterinary guidance. Confirm on your pack.
