Birds can have difficulty with medication. They don't take their pills well; they can find and spit cleverly hidden pills in their food; they can be quite a challenge when trying to administer them. The following are possible ways to medicate your bird. Your veterinarian has determined that your bird is sick and needs medication. It sounds easier than it actually is. Medications often have a strong, unpleasant taste and getting our birds to take them can be a real challenge.

Adding drugs to drinking water is controversial, but sometimes the only way to go. The goal is that the bird will heal itself throughout the day when he drinks regularly.

This approach has several disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that not all medicines can be put into drinking water. Some medicines can make the water bitter or taste bad and the birds won't drink it. You may have a sick and dehydrated bird instead of a sick bird. Some birds may even refuse to drink if the drug changes the color of the water. Another disadvantage is that the water and drug mixture must be prepared fresh daily. If there is more than one bird in the cage, both may receive medication. If a healthy bird predominates, he may get most of the medication, while a sick bird may get very little.

give liquid medicine

The most reliable way to administer medication to a bird is to give a liquid medication directly to the bird. Most oral suspensions are well-loved by birds, especially when flavored.

The procedure for administering liquid medicine to your bird includes:

Take the prescribed amount with an oral syringe or dropper.

To use oral medication, first remove the bird from its cage.

Wrap him in a soft towel. Make sure his wings and feet are not exposed.

Once restrained, allow the bird to calm down before starting the dosing.

Place the tip of a dropper or oral syringe inside the beak. The bird may start to bite the tip.
