Amphotericin B also helps treat fungal infections, including aspergillosis and candida. Compares to Megabac-S, which is no longer available on the market.
What is megabacteria in birds?
Megabacteria are microscopic organisms which are up to forty times much larger than regular bacteria, making it extremely insensitive to normal antibiotics. A lot is uncertain about mega bacteria, its transmission, and incubation period. However, avian veterinarians and pathology laboratories may give a definitely diagnosis after necropsy testing.
One of the more common names is “going-light syndrome” since megabacteria typically causes weight loss with bulky soft, dark droppings. Food is poorly digested as the organism infects the birds gastrointestinal tract, and as a result, the birds appetite is usually increased.
