Doxycycline 20% Powder for Birds

Doxycycline 20% Powder for Birds

Doxycycline 20% Powder is a broad-spectrum antibiotic formulated to help treat a wide variety of bacterial infections in pigeons and other ornamental birds. Containing 20% doxycycline hydrochloride, this water-soluble powder is commonly used by avian veterinarians and experienced bird breeders to help manage respiratory infections caused by Mycoplasma, Chlamydia (Ornithosis), and other susceptible bacteria. Because doxycycline is readily absorbed and penetrates deep into body tissues, it is one of the most trusted antibiotics for supporting respiratory health and controlling bacterial disease in birds.

Easy to mix in drinking water, Doxycycline 20% Powder offers a convenient way to medicate individual birds or an entire loft. It is commonly used when birds exhibit symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, nasal discharge, labored breathing, swollen sinuses, or decreased appetite. Fresh medicated water should be prepared daily and provided as the birds' only source of drinking water during treatment. For optimal absorption, avoid providing calcium supplements, oyster shell, or mineral grit while administering doxycycline, as calcium may reduce the effectiveness of the medication.
