Hi to all in cyberland.I was wondering if anyone out there has used Sulpha Quin for cocci,I know that it is a poultry medication but does anyone know the dosage for budgies.The Cocci treatments avail for budgies is so rediculously priced i thought this may be a cheaper alternative to have on hand and also for the accessory table at the club meetings.So if you have used it and are 100% sure of the dosage i would be very grateful

 

Cheers.. Budgiebum

I dont know if this helps but on the sulfa medication that I use the budgie mix is 3gms to 1L and the poultry is 3gms to 2L I assume this is because poultry drinks more water to body weight than budgerigars , and so doesnt require the higher dose.

In the health book that this medication comes with it says to use at a double strenght rate for birds with cocci and in contact birds.

I once used it at tripple strenght to save a bird I thought had no chance , it was cold very fluffed up and had lime green droppings , to my surprise it survived and within three days look fine eating on his own and back on the perch.

The ingredients in the medication are Sulfadiazine 400mg/g and Trimethoprim 80mg/g .

Hope this helps.

Thank you

This helps very much

I'd be inclined to use Coccivet.

Which treatments have you looked at? And where abouts? I know different places sell for different prices. Next time I am needing products, I will be going to get them from the budgie club - cheaper than all the shops :fingerscrossed:

 

I have used Aristovet Sulphadim and that was between $10 and $15 ( can't remember exact price) I use 5ml per litre of water.

 

Coccivet too isn't too expensive - I think that ranges between $17-$30 depending on where you go, works well too :cake:

Actually i use Baycox as it kills on contact and do it every 2 weeks through this humid weather,but now i also use trimethoprim/sulfadiazine in visually ill birds as it gets rid of the cocci and also clears up any secondary bacterial infections i have had a tub in my cupboard for a while and only realized it's potential when i was reading Rob Marshall's budgerigar book
