Beneficial Treatments and Cures

 

Because of the complicated nature of infections in exotic bird species most bird diseases can be difficult to diagnose, Particularly for the amateur bird keeper. It is always advisable to consult with a qualified avian veterinarian before administering medication.

Birds should be observed closely in order to recognize signs of illness and/or stress. No one product can prove to be effective in all cases. If satisfactory results are not realized, within a given amount of time, a second medication or remedy may be advisable. Always consult with your veterinarian.

                Diagnostics is very important. If for one reason or another veterinary help is unavailable it is up to you as a conscientious aviculturist to make an educated judgment in the treatment of weak or diseased birds.
