Doxycycline + Tylosin Powder
Ornithose psittacose is the French name pair for ornithosis / psittacosis — chlamydial disease in birds. This water-soluble doxycycline + tylosin combo powder is commonly used when keepers need dual antibiotic coverage for that kind of susceptible bacterial respiratory illness in pet birds and pigeons.

Prescription-style care: Dual antibiotics should match a real bacterial diagnosis. Ornithose / psittacose (psittacosis) can also affect people — handle sick birds carefully and talk to a physician if you have flu-like symptoms after bird contact. This page is not a substitute for veterinary or medical advice.
Food animals: Not for birds intended for human meat or egg consumption.
What ornithose / psittacose means here
Keepers and European labels often write ornithose and psittacose for the same chlamydial complex English calls ornithosis / psittacosis (Chlamydia psittaci). Combo doxycycline + tylosin powders are also used for other susceptible respiratory problems, including mycoplasma-related air sac disease, when a vet directs that approach.
Not effective against viruses, fungi, or parasites. If birds do not improve, reassess with a vet.
How to use | Common directions on this listing
- 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
- Typical course on this listing: 5–7 consecutive days
Pack note: one 100 g packet treats about 20 gallons at the 5 g/gallon rate above. Chlamydial disease often needs a longer veterinary-directed course than a short respiratory course — confirm days on your pack and with your vet.

After antibiotics
Antibiotics can disrupt normal gut flora. Many keepers follow with a bird probiotic once the course ends — ask your vet for timing.
