i think your wasting your money why not give your family a flagle tab every 2 months just for the sake of it as flagle is only a product name nothing more are your birds sitting hunched up or have the got there  bun-net up at the front, are they not eating,

if not your not going to make one bit of difference to them but as you say you treat every 2 months  there seems there is nothing wrong with your birds  :-/ :-/ :-/

I wouldn't have thought a vet would give you 500mg tablets - ot when they are available in bird sized 50mg doses - even for humans - usual dose is 250mg a few times a day

[just ask me]

try the inhouse drugstore should have some recommendations there i think

hi mate , a bit hard to split 500mg tabs at the correct dose , this is another avenue you can go down , if you wish , crush 2 , 500 mg tabs , add 20ml  vinegar any will do , this helps disolve the flagyl tabs , then add to 2ltr's water , do this for 5 days

Nah, just the fact that with regular, and same usage it will constantly come back stronger than before.

[lofty]

metronidazole (Flagyl) dose 50mg daily for 3 days

to divide 500mg tab crush into powder, use a razor blade to arrange the powder in a long ribbon and divide it into 10 segments

-each segment aprox 50mg

Lofty

PS Side effects of overdose pigeons 'overshoot' when flying to perch

appear not to be able to see properly

act like they are dizzy

if these symptoms occur do not give any more flagyl but ad B vitamins to water and leave birds undisturbed

[Guest Vic]

Never give whilst sitting close to hatching. I have seen birds bring the soft food up when treated  in this condition.

[Guest slugmonkey]

there was a post on here that I belive Speight pasted and posted on here long ago about since then I quit treating for it
