Liquid Iodine/how often

cntrymeadow · Post by **cntrymeadow** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 12:08 pm

I have some liquid iodine from ladygouldianfinch.com
It says to use 2 drops per 1 qt of water
but it doesnt say how often to feed it.
Is this a daily or weekly thing?

2 drops doesn't sound a lot...I put a teaspoon full in a litre of water (Roughly 2 pints)... On one day a week.(Manufacturers recommended dose for cage birds and poultry)

maybe it depends on the manufacturer strength. The type I use is by morning bird and it says to use 2 drops per quart just like Cntrymeadow's. What brand do you use poohbear?

I give my finches liquid iodine in their water once a week.

Not one you will come across I don't think...it's from the Scottish Islands...I would have thought the manufacturer would mention dosage in his literature...mine did.

Sorry, I meant to come back to this thread!

Yes, mine is Morning Bird also and from everything I read it does say 2 drops per quart so that I what Im going to do.
It just does not say how often which suprises me cause everything else I bought did!

On their website it says:

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Add two drops of LIQUID IODINE to one quart of clean drinking water. Use daily and as bird’s only source of drinking water. Safe for young and adult birds. Keep container closed before and after use. This product is free of pesticides. Store in a cool, dry place.

Guess that's why the lower dose? Because it's given daily.
