Aussie Finch Forum

I removed my ranting and raving about purchasing birds with air sac mite. @Myzomela, this is a very good thread, and your information enlightened me to something new. The issue has been controlled. Thank you so very much, to you and all others whom shared info. Kind Regards

It is best to give your finches worming medicine every 3 months.

best to start a new thread for your question Cathy. This is a really old thread and it gets confusing when new threads are added to old ones

And I think Myzo as one of Australias most well recognised Vets is the person we should heeds opinion.

Hi, is Avimec good for airsac mite treatment?

I've read a few recommendations about the use of a "sweetener" when using Cydectin Plus as it is very bitter. Does anybody have any recommendations on what kind of sweetener I can safely use to treat my finches and parakeets? Thanks.

Never used one, but I believe some people use red cordial.

Yes people use red cordial, but personally I just take all water sources out at 4pm the afternoon before, then straight up in the next morning I give them the water and because they are thirsty they take a big drink before they realise it tastes bad
