Parrot finches asm

Post by Lorddaxter » Wed Sep 26, 2012 1:56 pm

So I have quarantined these birds I got today, for sure the 2 parrots who are moulting have early stages of ASM, tail bobbing, can't hear anything though.

Should I treat with iverlux in their water or scatt on the thigh, poor things are stressed out so leaning towards iverlux but thought I'd ask the experts:)

I would scatt them just to be sure but they may have a respiratory infection and not air sac mites. Keep a close eye on them.
Good luck

If its a respiratory infection you would have to know what kind to administer the proper medication.
