I've got a canary hen that has had ocassional sneezing issues and still makes clicking sounds. I've used scatt but to no avail.
I was told to try something like Ronivet 12.
Anybody have experience with this or similar product?

Yes sometimes treatment for air sac mite will not work as there are too much. Sometimes birds will die even after being treated.

Ronivet is not for air sac mites, or cold/infections. It is for treatment of protozoa.

I only had airsac mites once with my gouldian finches. My vet told me to do what she called shake and bake. You use sevin in a large paper grocery bag. Place your bird in the bag and let it flap around a little then take it out and put in clean cage, I had to jostle the bag to get some of them to flap around but it worked like a miracle. as I understood it the flapping in the bag stirred up a fine dust that the birds breathed in getting the sevin dust right to the mites. Good luck.

I thought I read that sevin dust is toxic?

Dusting Sevin using a paper bag is a time-honored technique in the poultry / pigeon fancy.

The shake in a bag method is old, old, old. Personally I would stick with SCAT or
Ivermectin.
Ronivet 12, is not for this issue.
How did you use the SCAT? And when?
I hope this bird is being kept separate from your other birds.
