Ronidazole for Birds - Canker Treatment 60 mg… - New Arrival

Q: What is ronidazole for birds used for?

This listing is a 60 mg/g water-soluble powder commonly used against protozoal infections such as trichomoniasis (canker), and it is also used for Giardia, Hexamita, and Cochlosoma concerns in pigeons and aviary birds. Confirm the diagnosis and mixing rate with a veterinarian.

Q: How do I mix this powder in drinking water?

Directions on this listing use 1 teaspoon per 1 gallon of water for large birds and pigeons, or 1 teaspoon per 1 quart for small birds such as finches and canaries, for 7 consecutive days. Mix a fresh solution daily and make it the only water source during treatment. Follow the pack you receive if it differs.

Q: Is this the same strength as Ronivet-S?

This powder is labeled at 60 mg/g ronidazole, the same active-ingredient strength commonly listed for Vetafarm Ronivet-S. Brands and inactive ingredients can differ, so follow the directions for the product you buy.

Q: Should I treat the whole flock?

When canker or related protozoal infection is present, flock-wide treatment is often recommended because the organisms spread easily. A veterinarian can confirm whether that is appropriate for your birds.
