Homemade Electrolyte Recipe

Mick M. NV powder is a commercial vitamin/electrolyte sold by Vetafarm. That is an Australian company, don't know if they are available to you. It is very good for stress situations, gives the birds a boost to get them through it. In the UK, the Birdcare Co. makes a similar product, Guardian Angel, though I'm not sure if it contains electrolytes.

If you have one bird that is a little under the weather is this safe to give to the whole flock without removing and treating just the one bird?

"Pedialyte or similar commercial electrolyte", how often should this be used?

I reiterate that question ...

I don't think it would hurt the other birds, it is mostly just electrolytes. I wouldn't continue to use it for a long period of time, but I have given NV powder (which is basically electrolytes and glucose) for several days for birds that were under stress.

If you have a sick bird, there are several products you can offer, such as Thrive or Survive by Morning Bird.

Thanks for this- I have a very stressed Java due to a recent move who's maybe not drinking well from their cage- I'm gonna try this for her tonight!

I also have a new little baby who is about one month and one week old-is it safe to mix this in with the soaks eat I'm giving him for food now? He seems rather chill, though.

I don't know that I'd give it to the baby, but I'd definitely give it to the stressed Java.

Hi Sally,

The birdcare company uk is probably one of the best companies in the uk if not the best, I've used a few of their products over the years and to with very good effect,

I used to use a formula called " spark " and was used when I got back home from exhibiting my birds as the long distance traveling obviously can cause a little stress to some birds and this product used to calm em down and settle back into their surroundings,

Incidentally I always used to give me birds a quick squirt of anti mite spray after every show

Well done to Debbie for the formula and thank you for making the thread a sticky
