Hello everyone. I just started using Iverlux to treat my bird for air sac mites. The bottle says to apply it to the neck for 5 days in a row and then repeat for 3 weeks. Does this mean that I use it for 21 days in a row or do I use it for 5 days, wait 2 days, then 5 days again, etc.? Also I have another bird housed with the sick bird. Should I treat her the same way as well even though she shows no symptoms?
Thanks for your advice.

Since the other bird is in the same cage, yes I would treat both.

I don't know the application instruction for Iverlux, as I use SCATT and S76. But "I think" it means repeat the 5 day treatment after 3 weeks. SCATT is repeated after 3 weeks.

Gary I don't use S76 but iverlux is the same, scatt has a different ingredient.

The three week treatment is when you are using the iverlux in water. The neck is a 5 day treatment.
