Is this a good product?

I am thinking it would be good to have medications on hand. This seems like it would be a good place to start.
Any feedback appreciated.

Re: 4in1 powder
It was recommended to me also, especially when the cause of the problem is uncertain.
I plan to order some on my next order.

I saw this and was thinking the same thing! I'm going to order some when I get paid, seems like a handy powder to have.

Re: 4in1 powder
The only thing I see in the ingredients that would make me hesitate is the active ingredient Ronidazole 7% is the same ingredient in Ronivet S and Ronex (used as a parasite preventative). Finches need the 12%. Slower bigger birds do not have a higher metabolism and can use 6%. I do see they adjusted the water mixed to make it stronger.
I would question that when calling to order from ladygouldian.com ask if it is used at that strength in place of Ronex 12%.

Re: 4in1 powder
I prefer Spectovet as a broad-spectrum antibiotic:

I have used 4-in-1 in the past but as Cindy pointed out, the % of Ronidasole in it isn't ideal for finches, so the spectovet seemed like a better choice.

Re: 4in1 powder
I am glad you posted Tiffany, I could not be sure of which one you had recommended in the past. I am also going to add that to my medicine cabinet of bird supplies next order.
