Hi not sure if anyone can help me or not.

I have a canary who is young that I got last May, he has just started to breathe heavy and stop singing. I treated him yesterday for air sac mite, I don’t believe he is moulting yet he seems happy enough, he’s just breathing heavy and occasionally it looks like he is trying to dislodge some food.
This started happening the day after Melbourne had the 40 degree day

I was going to upload a video but unable to.

Ok, is that the same as Avimec, would I be able to get it from a petshop?
Thanks

Avimec is similar..it is a topical product. ..one drop from memory either back of neck or under wing? Should have instructions on how to use. .. :thumbup:

Thank you
I put one drop of Avimec on the back of his neck yesterday, but I like the idea of dosing via drinking water.

I will see if I can find some

Thank you for your help, but it is too late as he just passed away.
He was really struggling to breathe.
