That can be broken down to using 1/4 of it in a quart of water. It would be foolish to use the whole thing in a gallon of water for two birds. Better yet, why not use 1/8 of it in 2 cups of water.

ivermectin


putting any antibiotic or treatment in the water you have to consider how much the birds will drink which is approx. 50mls a day but in hotter days it could be more and if colder considerably less

Hey Dovelove. How are they doing after treatment? Did they give you dirty looks for giving them funky water?

This is how we all learn. I'm still learning, and hopefully always will be. That's what's great about this site, and sites like this one. We can all pool our knowledge and experience to help each other. I learn something new from other peoples posts all the time. A lot of us worm them spring and fall. It isn't something you would want to give them all the time. Once or twice a year. You never really want to use any meds all the time. Not necessary. It's more like when your vet worms your dog once a year. And actually, they don't normally do it unless there are worms in there feces sample that you normally bring yearly. Not like flea or tick medicine. That would be dusting the birds with sevin or permethrin, just to make sure they don't get mites or anything like that.
