Society finch air sac mites3/19/2024 ![]() When birds in the same flock or location keep dying, some causes can be a virus, bacteria, fungus, other diseases possibly transported by insects, contaminated water or food, some type of toxin in the air – as you can see it isn’t possible to know the cause without testing by a Veterinarian.Īir sac mites are very common with Gouldian finches. What you describe are symptoms that any bird will exhibit when they are gravely ill and dying. Unfortunately we cannot even begin to guess what the problem is. Why dont we use Cydectin in alcohol?.because no smart person vet wise has come up with a properly research dose rate for that form of delivery.yet!!!!!Īlso if your finch still "clicks" a little after treatment it is possibly because of the damage done by the ASM to the finches system and may remain with it throughout the rest of its life.mind u it hasn't, IMHExperience, effected the bird's abiltiy to breed and/or feed youngsters.I am so sorry this is happening to your birds. The alcohol gives u excellent delivery properties which straight water cannot!!.just need to be very careful of the dose!! Have zero faith in VF's Scatts ability to remove stubborn ASM and have only found repeated treatments with Ivomec & Alcohol (iso-propyl a&/or absolute ethanol) are required to remove stubborn vestiges of it so that our regular Cydectin worming can keep it under control - or hopefully remove it completely!! If Cydectin affected egg fertility we'd possibly never get a fertile egg so I think u can be "destressed' over that concern. Have used Cydectin/Cydectin Plus in the water for years even while chicks in the nest without mishap as we use a regular 'dated' worming regime.but others may have found differently. But this would explain why that particular male has never sang since being here. Since then i have been given some cydectin / moxydectin ( ? ) to treat them with - i am now waiting for results. After a bit of research on the net, i was convinced they had air sac mite. I asked my vet, who said the female most likely had a respiratory disease and told me to use Sulphur 3. From memory it is based on MoxydectinĪirSac Mite is one of the major reasons why canaries stop whistling.įinally !! I have the answer i was looking for!! " Air Sac Mite is one of the major reasons canaries stop whistling" - I purchased a couple pair Red Factor Canaries from Melbourne a few months ago, and when they got here i noticed in one pair, the female was always wiping her beak etc, and she sounded like she had bad asthma and the male never sang. In have tested this product on Zebra finches by nearly drowning them in it without any ill effects. Today it is easy, Veta Farm make a product called SCATT,simply put a couple of drops on the nape of the kneck or the bare kin under the wing and let the bird go back into its cage/flight. ![]() ![]() Medication, over the years I have seen and used some dangerous chemicals and seen some disasterous results. It is actaually trying to wipe away the excess live mites It is important to clean the perches as you will see an infected bird continually wipeing it's beak from side to side on the perch. Scrub or clean to your best ability all perches.ĭose your birds and then do it again the following week to ten days E Orix wrote:Air Sac Mite can easily be treated but there are several steps that need to be done.ĭose ALL birds that come into contact with an effected one.
