Combat Psittacosis and Ornithosis in Birds with Trusted Antibiotic Support
When your birds show signs of respiratory distress, lethargy, or unexplained weight loss, it could be more than just a seasonal cold. Psittacosis (also known as Ornithosis), caused by Chlamydia psittaci, is a serious bacterial infection that affects a wide variety of caged birds, aviary birds, and racing pigeons.
Psittavet – Doxycycline HCL 4% is a powerful water-soluble antibiotic specially formulated to target and treat psittacosis and other susceptible bacterial diseases. Safe, easy to administer, and effective when used correctly, Psittavet helps restore health, improve breathing, and prevent disease spread within your loft or aviary.
Whether you’re caring for parrots, finches, budgies, or competitive pigeons, Psittavet offers a reliable treatment option that works directly through their drinking water—eliminating the stress of catching and dosing each bird individually.
