S76 dosage

Post by Meagan83 » Thu Sep 03, 2009 4:08 pm

Okay, so I know the amount of S76 to add to the drinking water, but how often do I do this? Is it added every day for 3 weeks or did I read that someone said only 2x per week for 3 weeks? I tried to locate the topic that showed dosage but could not relocate it. Thanks, sorry if this is a repeat question to the forums :oops:
To be honest I am unsure that my birdies have ASM. I read that it is usually present in Canaries and Goulds, but the birds which seem to show symtoms now are 2 of my societies. One of my silverbills passed away already :cry: but it's mate seems okay, and has finished raising their babies. I just want to treat ALL OF THEM to be sure that if it's ASM they will be safe.

Doesn't it say on the bottle? I use Iverlux, and that is given two days in a row, repeated each week for three weeks, total of 6 days. Most people have their birds on a preventative program, so they give whichever product they are using every 3-4 months.

Yes, treat 2 days in a row then retreat on the same 2 days the following week and then again the same two days on the 3rd week.
If your birds do not have ASM the treatment will not harm them. It is good to do a prevenative anyway :D Sorry about your silver :(
Hopefully things will turn around.
