Important Advice for Maintaining Your Birds’ Health:
-
Use antibiotics responsibly. Avoid using antibiotics indiscriminately, as this can do more harm than good.
-
Never treat without a proper diagnosis. Blind treatment can worsen the situation. If your birds seem unwell, seek immediate testing.
-
Get laboratory testing promptly. The tests should include a swab, droppings screening, and a full culture to check for respiratory issues and harmful bacteria like Salmonella or Paratyphoid. This will provide a precise diagnosis, ensuring you know exactly what, if anything, needs treatment.
-
Ensure accurate treatment. If treatment is needed, request a sensitivity test to determine the right medication and avoid using ineffective remedies due to resistance.
-
Implement a health care plan. Maintain a year-round health strategy to keep your birds in optimal condition.
