I just bought some Iverlux and Ornacycline medcine today to treat my finches and i was wondering if it was okay to mix these 2 together in the finches drinking water.

I have no idea about the mixing of the 2. But The treatment for ASM would be quick with the iverlux and then if you needed to you could treat for infection afterwards.

That's what I've ended up doing. I gave them the iverlux now and later on i will give them the ornacycline.

I never so the male drink the iverlux water so today i put a drop on hs neck and it didnt seem to hurt him and he looks fine and i also added ornacycline in their drinking water today. The female is healthy and looks fine but i am treating them both since they came from the same breeder. The male still has a clicking sound and breathing hard but his mouth is always closed and he is not having any other symptoms.

Looks like you caught it in the early stage...that's good. I am treating the 2 pair that I got recently. They don't have any symptoms but I treat all new birds anyway
After bring ASM in...I don't want to risk that again.
Who are you treating, your new gouldins, the silver?
