Mix Moxi Plus and Baycox?

[Brodz]

Hi all,

Did my first treatment of moxi plus today on all my gouldians, how long before I should see improvement in a couple of birds who had the beak whiping etc symptoms? Also wondering is there any specific treatment regime of a baycox/moxidectin plus mix that has been used so birds can be treated for worms, air sac mite and coccidiosis all at once?

Thanks

Hi Brodz,most breeders i know mix Baycox and Moxidectin plus together in their specified doses with no ill effects,i have been doing it for a few years now but only at 6 month intervals, Cheers Craig

I worm (using moxi+) every 3 months on the 1st Jan, 1st Apr, 1st July and 1st Oct. I don't mix Baycox with Moxi+ as I tend to only use Baycox after there's been a wet spell but like Craig I know many who mix the 2 without issue.

Thanks guys, do you know what the exact mix is? And how long it should be administered for?

It's 3ml for Baycox and 5ml of Moxi plus to the litre of water for 2- 3 days Craig

Yep, like the guys said.......I run Baycox and Moxi together every 3 months at the prescribed dose......also do an extra Baycox after prolonged rain periods.......I tend to be flexible with timing if I know there are hatchlings in nests, preferring to let them grow a bit..........Crook birds get caught up and get heat & electolytes to get them well enough before any medication is given......but I dont get too many of those ....touch wood

Thanks for all the help guys!

Re the improvement time...I noticed some birds picked up after a week....but others may have been too late and bit the dust.

I think these medications used in a timely and appropriate manner work best.

In the case where I lost a bird I may have been too late...I got it from a shady fellow at a bird sale which also highlights the importance on quarantine.

I thought MOXI was only used for a day? And baycox for 2? Should I have done the MOXI for 2-3 days??
