Beaphar Anti-Parasite Spot On For Large Birds

Birds are very intelligent creatures and they make great pets. They can make you feel better merely by their presence. Becoming a bird owner can be a rewarding experience, particularly for animal lovers who aren’t interested in larger pets, like cats and dogs. Unfortunately, birds are subject to internal parasites just like other animals. Internal parasites (usually intestinal) such as nematodes (roundworms) or flukes and tapeworms come from eggs that may have contaminated the soil, water or food. External parasites, like ticks and mites, are generally more common and tend to come from other birds.

Beaphar Anti-Parasite Spot On for Large Birds is a veterinary medicine containing Ivermectin (150 ug per pipette), which is effective against roundworms, feather lice, red (blood) mites, feather mites, air sac mites and mange mites (scaly face) for up to 4 weeks after treatment. This pack contains 2 pipettes and is suitable for use on birds weighing 300 – 750 g. Twist off the cap and apply the entire contents of the pipette to the base of the feathers, on the bird’s neck.

The solution must be applied onto the skin or soft down feathers, otherwise, it will not work. While squeezing out the contents, spread the solution over as great a surface of the skin as possible. A small bird will be quite damp after application, so keep your bird warm until dry. A second treatment should not be required, but if it is, leave 4 weeks before re-applying.
