The world needs more bird vets! I have a canary that when we got her had teeny little lump just above the beak where it turns fleshy. Didn't seem to bother her so we thought it was just a little defect and her birth mark or something. Then it grew and baldness started happening on her face. Her eyes became watery and she was always wiping her face. She no longer looked happy. I gave her a week long course of Baytril and saw the lump had a little scab. I thought abscess, so I gently picked at the scab and sure enough it fell off and hard pus came out. I cleaned her up and carried on the Baytril. Feather loss continued to go round the sides of her face but after the baytril she became more her old self again. But now her eyes are a little water again and there are another couple of lumps. I think she is in pain because she shouts when I try to look at her and touch her face. There is a soft yellowy swelling on her lower cheek/jaw on one side and now her breathing is open mouthed and laboured and also a sort of squeaky noise. She sneezes a lot and still rubs her face but the feathers are starting to return. We were told it was a vitamin D deficiency and the abscesses were ingrowing feathers. I am not so sure but she is the ONLY one with any kind of symptoms and this has been getting slowly worse since about March. I am worried about her and am wondering if she needs more antibiotics. However I know too much can kill her but if I do nothing, she is dead anyway. We did separate her but she got very depressed and stopped eating, drinking and even moving. She is now starting to look sorry for herself again. Any ideas? Also a canary mother of ours (no longer will be bred) chewed off the top part of the beak on it's day old baby so I hand reared it as it survived somehow. Does the beak grow back? Don't care if it does because we love it anyway and it is now somehow managing to eat seed. Thanks
Hi Joanna, it sounds like your canary may potentially be displaying signs of Canary Pox. This is a virus transmitted by mosquitoes. As it is a virus there are no drugs you can give that will cure the disease, I would think that the Baytril is assisting in combating any secondary infections that are occurring. I strongly recommend trying to mosquito-proof your aviaries to reduce the risk of future disease spread. Your current, unwell Canary may survive the initial infection, once she builds an immunity to the virus she will carry it but no longer be symptomatic. The broken beaked baby will not grow it's beak back.
I researched the pox for hours because that is what we feared it was. However we have ruled it out because everywhere we read and people we spoke to said that she and all the other birds would be dead by now. She has had the lump when we got her in March and it is now September. Normally pox kills in a couple of weeks and all the others should be dead too. However there are no signs of anything in any of the others so whatever it is, it can't be catching. That is why we thought it must be some kind of infection. It looked like the beak was trying to come back but it was split in the middle like a cleft lip but I think the eating of seeds has worn it away some. It's a happy little thing.
Thank you for the clear information. I have a situation where I have treated a pair of canaries with an ivermectin solution. 1% ivomec 1cc in 16 oz of water. Gave this to them as their only water source for 24 hours. The instructions were to repeat the process in two weeks. My question is this: I have since ordered SCATT . How long does the Ivermectin stay in the system? Can you safely use both treatments? The animals are so fragile I do not want to have a drug interaction. Thank you.
Hi and good day, First of all i would like really to thank you a lot for your interesting videos :). I bought your product because i saw some mites on some of my canary birds recently. I used the medicine on all my birds today. My question is : Is it enough to wait 21 days to treat the birds again at the beginning or should i treat the birds once a week for 3 weeks at the beginning like what i watched in the video? As well i placed the drop between the shoulders ( under the skin ) so as the birds wouldn't be able to eat from it. For the future would you advice me to use the medicine on the leg or should i use the medicine between the shoulders?. Many thanks for your time and advice :) Best wishes Sly
I heard that you're meant to apply the liquid onto the top of the birds back like in between its shoulders, is this true or would you recommend to put it on its thigh only
Hi Dr. Gestier. Thanks for the instructional video. Today I treated my canary with Scatt for air sac mites the exact way shown in the video. I also used a 1ml syringe and filled it with ~0.05 ml of scatt. I only meant to apply one drop to his thigh but it accidently all came out so he got several drops. Will this poison him or be harmful? -Thanks
Thank you for your comment :) The product Dr Tony Gestier is using in this video is Scatt. It is a Moxidectin based treatment for Scaly face mite and air sac mite infections in ornamental birds.
Small birds have to be treated on a monthly basis. 1 drop at back of neck close to the skin. My breeder gave me a spray to mix with water to spray cage with too. There are mites that attack birds body and some live in cage itself on bars etc...
My budgie has little black specks on his feather. I am pretty sure he has air sac mites so I just treated him for that. I can't determine what the black specks on his feathers are though?
I purchased the scatt for my canarie and put a drop between the shoulders as advised from the website but did not rub it in. When i put him back in the cage I think he shook it off fixing his feathers. What should I do...Wait 21 days and treat again they way you show in the video or should I treat again on the thigh as shown in the video right away. Any advise on this product would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I had the same problem.Don't give him cuttlefish while you are giving him antibiotics! Antibiotic Powder will be affected by the presence of calcium in the diet. calcium affects the uptake of the antibiotic.My vet told me this and you can also read it on vetafarm web page under triple C antibiotic Product Description
Thank you so much for this video! I just got your product today and treated the two rescue budgies I acquired last week. One is displaying symptoms of scaly face mites on around his eyes. We do have three other parakeets in a different room and I mistakenly had our cockatiel in the same room for a few hours the day we brought the rescue keets home. Should I treat my other three parakeets and the cockatiel?
My bird has the same problem but I've been using a medicine called Broncolis.... Is this one effective or should I use other? I don't know any other medicine that can be used effectively.... Any recommendations?
Hi, we are unable to comment on the efficacy of a product that is not manufactured by us. If you are unsure, we would recommend taking the bird to a veterinarian for consult and prescription. :)
Thank you!!! I wish I had known about this sooner! I read a study about treating birds with ivermectin and then found your video. I brought a new bird into my flock from a breeder/pet store that was unknown to me. I am convinced she brought mites with her. It would have been so simple to treat her as she came in. I do not usually bring pet store birds home. I have always used a known home breeder with strong healthy birds. What a simple solution!!! I will be treating my flock and carefully cleaning.
Hi Guys at Vetafarm, i use a drop of ivermectin (already diluted to use on small birds) onto the skin to keep red-mites at bay; when i suspect air sac mites i dose the bird with one drop straight into the beak with great results i must say....now, what's your opinion on this practice? In Europe is a very common method used by us breeders. Thank You for all your great work!
Hi, I'm glad this method is proving successful for you! Unfortunately it is not something we are familiar with so cannot provide any substantial opinion on it. My only suggestion would be to ensure when applying that the birds are not inhaling any of the Ivermectin.
could you please tell me in your experience how long dose it take for air sac mite to kill a bird? my 3 year old canary died this morning but i only started seeing symptoms a few hours before:(
i just lost my female blue gouldian to air sack mites, real shame. it wasnt until after she died i found out what the problem was. i MUST get some scatt to treat all my other gouldians as ive heard clicking noises in their cages at nights and some are breathing heavily. thanks for the vid
Dr Gastier, I am keeping a zosterop that has air sac mites. After giving the treatment, how long then can i shower my bird? It baths everyday. Need help . Tks
Hi, i have a question. I have a canary who has the mites in her legs, but not that severe. Do i have to apply one drop on each thy or just one drop on a thy? also how many times a day? and for how long? Thank you for your time and please reply as soon as you can.
My 2 canaries don’t sing. Thy open their mouth but nothing but a crack comes out. One just died. Where can I get this treatment and what is it called please?
Thank you for your comment. I am sorry to hear about your canary. This product is called Scatt. Where are you located? I may be able to put you in touch with a distributor in your area who may be able to assist you.
We are in Belgium. I’ve added vinegar to his bath water. I see lots of dots in the water every time. So I’m guessing the skin ones are dying but how to clear the ones inside his throat?
This product is called Scatt, it is able to be purchased over the counter but only in certain countries (depending on product registration in that particular country).
Firstly my canary had a puffy leg so we bought Johnson anti mite extra and it was working a bit but he was still ill so we bought scatt scaly face air sac and now that we have applied the scatt , he's been feeling better but he has been losing hair and his feather always comes out easily. Please tell me what to do. I really love him and please could you respond to this.
hi i have a canary and i love him bi bought scatt but i dont have a seringe.can i just spray it on him.and how can i spare him a few days alive without scatt because its still shipping. thx
How the birds get air sac mites? Are the mites common in normal environment and how can we prevent the mites appear in my home? Finally, is Scatt harm to human body? Please advise.
Hi Dr Gestier,I have a pair of red headed Gouldians and the female appears to be narcoleptic,she looks fine,eyes are bright{when they're open},feathers tight and shiny and she perks up when I go near the cage,leave her and off she goes again, head under her wing.I give her a good diet of millet and greens same as the male but she just wants to sleep.Any ideas? thanks
My alexandrine parrot doesn't get any benefit using scatt i apply 3 times on my bird. (my bird has air sac mites ). what should i do now? more than 3 months have passed since this disease still doesn't go I'm very much upset and curious about my bird
Hi again I think my parakeet has broke one of its legs" I have her in a small cage with soft bending and no perches" I rang all vets in my area and they don't treat birds " what more can I do ?
hello vetafarm, it is very difficult to reach ivermectin where I am, my bird is very sick, what can I use instead of ivermectin? please inform me, is LEVAMISOLE an active ingredient drug?
Hi, thank you for commenting! Scatt is our Air Sac and Scaly Face Mite treatment. S76 is not one of our products so I am unable to comment on that one I'm sorry! :)
Hi Tony I am Chris and i live in Ireland' I am having big trouble at the moment with red mite'' I keep Canaries an the mite are killing all my young ones' My canaries all look poor an always picking at themselves. Can you please help
Hi, my canary is making clicking sounds and it's very low sound and he's quiet puffed up. Ive applied him Beaphar Anti-parasite spot on which is a drop that is for all the type of mites, parasites etc. he's now cleaning himself as he is annoyed by it, I've washed his whole cage including accessories. I just need to know what else I can do and how to get rid if it because I've warmed up my room and covered his cage with a white blanket. Any other advice please ? Thanks
I'm.on my 2nd week of using S76 and feel like my budgie doesn't drink as much. Can I change to scatt? I hear a faint clicking sound every breath he does. Sounds like a knuckle cracking. Please advise. Thank you very much
Hi there, thank you for your comment. Scatt contains Moxidectin and is an effective treatment against Scaly Face and Air Sac Mite. Full recovery may take up to 6 weeks.
+Muhammad Bilal Hi Muhammad, thanks for your question. Vetafarm have not designed Scatt as an oral treatment, so unfortunately cannot recommend it to be used in this fashion. It is also important to note that Moxidectin while a very effective worming medicine, does have its flaws. Moxidectin is completely ineffective for Tapeworm control, is unstable when mixed with water and does have resistance issues with some round worms. We recommend using a safe and effective all wormer for in water or oral treatment and control of worms such as our Wormout Gel. Check out our videos on direct administration and worming in general here: ruclips.net/video/DZOTFXVlD-M/видео.html ruclips.net/video/X1Sf1ClvfKY/видео.html
+Vetafarm Thanks for your reply. i already used wormout Gel in water for pigeons but they don't like its taste because of bitter taste of praziquentel. i added orange juice and other flavors to it, but they wouldn't drink at all. i have 100+ pigeons and treating individual bird is hard but still i did that, never seen a single worm though. that's why i was planning to give moxidectin a try.
Full recovery can take up to 6 weeks. Retreatment can be completed after 21 days if necessary. We would not recommend allowing the bird to bathe the next day.
I have a canary,older seems to not be able to see at all,head goes to the side and has a tendency to be on the cage walls alot...still eating, but does lots of clicking with beak and head shakes.have done some research but unsure of condition,anyone have any idea's..I am thinking his condition is untreatable?Poor little guy.
So I’ve realised my new canary has air sac mites and I recently just started treating it, it sleeps in the same room as my budgie (because they have the same bed time and the room I put them in is the only room that is dark and quiet) but in different cages but I am scared the air sac mites will or have started to look for fresh blood and might go to my budgie. Is this possible for them to know to go to my budgie ? I separate them in the morning in separate rooms and don’t let them out at in the same rooms as I think my budgie could kill him. But is it going to spread to my budgie if I keep to me in the same room or should I separate them even during bedtime.
Hi, thank you for commenting on our video! Air Sac Mite do tend to spread between birds in a flock, so we generally recommend completing a flock treatment for all birds in the same aviary. As these two birds are in an enclosed environment we would recommend treating both of them. :)
Hello, yes Scatt can be used on breeding canaries, it is applied on the skin. I would recommend treating before any eggs hatch as it is not recommended on very young birds.
Hiya is it common for canaries to make a funny noise with air sac mites (like two pebbles being clinked together)? Is there anything else that’s causing her to make that noise? Thanks in advance
Hi there, we do recommend administering on the unfeathered part of the birds thigh. However, this will still be effective, so long as it was on an unfeathered part.
I'am confuse, i thought i heard you said 3 treatment every 21 days and should clear the aviary and the once or twice a year as a preventative measure. but at the end you said it's not preventative and will not prevent the bird from getting the mite it will only treat the bird if it has it. did i miss the point or i am just really confuse?
Dear Dr. It is a very very useful formation to use scatt. Can we dose it on the chickes. In India some pairs of cockatiel prefer to nest in pots. Mites generate in pots so can you apply on chicks. Kindly advice
Hi, thank you for commenting and we are glad you found our video useful! We do not recommend using on chicks before fledging unless you absolutely have to.
Thank you sir for the reply and advice. I am from India. I have been to Australia during 2005 through Indo Australian Chamber of Commerce and have watched cockatiel and Cockatoo in wild. Kindly advice current mail id to know more about Vetafarm and to communicate. Thank you once again.
I just rubbed it on the effected areas with a Qtip on all of my budgies one of them came infected with air sac and scaly mites so now I treated them all I saw white mites crawling on my budgies I was using lemon grass tea originally to treat the mites I just hope that this will work my husband deep cleaned the cage using vinegar and boiling water after I medicated our birds I put them in a box with a plate of millet to apologize for breaking their trust and they waited while my husband cleaned our room and their cage I might use olive oil on their legs and beak to keep them from getting onto their faces and in their vents
Hi Rukia, thank you for watching and commenting on our video. Air Sac Mites are not generally able to be found externally on the body, as they live in the birds Air Sacs. It sounds as though your birds may have some kind of feather mite as well. Scatt will only treat Air Sac Mites and Scaly Face Mite. Therefore, if they have feather mites or some kind of external mite, we would recommend treatment with Avian Insect Liquidator. We hope your birds recover soon!
Hi All, I have applied Scatt on 2 my canaries thigh 4 week ago and all symptoms nearly gone gradually. 5 days ago I have repeated the treatment and surprisingly symptoms worsen significantly. My birds are not poorly but sneezing, coughing, and squeaking non-stop. Is there any logical explanation? What should I do now to save my pets? Many thanks.
Kalms and birds Scatt has to be applied once in every 21 days, total of 3 times. In other words Day1 apply scatt, Day21 apply scatt, day43 apply scatt. When u apply one dose and wait 4 weeks you let the mites reproduce and multiply.
Dear Doctor Gestier, I would like to thank you for your helpful videos. I've learned a lot on how to handle my birds when sick from you. However, I still would like to get your opinion on one of my budgies. He has been sneezing and vomiting since the day I got him (which is now 6 months ago). He acts as normal, sings/chirps, flirts with everything, bobs his head, jumps and attempts to fly (he cannot fly though, his feathers fall before fully growing) etc. I have given him Nekton Bio to improve his feathers quality and it did work on the tail but not on his wings. As for his sneezing problem, we have tried everything. The vet did a crop wash and 2 tests for psitaccosis but came negative in both. The crop wash hasn't shown anything in particular that could cause his sneezing fits and vomiting behaviour. We started with Ivomec for a month (a drop on the back once a week so a total of 4 drops), then we were given Metronidazole, Baytril and Ornicure. Although as he was taking baytril and ornicure it seemed like he temporarely stopped sneezing, after the cure he started back shortly after. Baytril lasted 7 days and Ornicure lasted roughly 3 weeks. I don't know if I should ask the vet to give me more of one of those medication or if there is anything else I can do as they can't find anything and I don't want to make him weaker and used to the medication so much so that is not gonna have positive effects on him anymore. Is it possible to have an advice from you for this? The little baby is roughly 8-10months old and with very poor feather condition, unable to fly. Thank you
Hi, From the description you give of your budgie I am very suspicious he has POLYOMA virus. The poor feathering and the loss of feathers before fully mature is common with chronic Polyoma virus. Please check with you veterinarian if they can have the Polyoma virus test done to be certain. Although there is no cure for Polyoma virus a diagnosis helps with management. The polyoma virus has many symptoms, sneezing and vomiting may be part of the complex. Until you get test results I would not recommend further antibiotic treatments. Sincerely, Tony Gestier
Dear Doctor Gestier, Thank you very much for your reply. I really really appreciate that. Sorry I have forgotten to mention that he has been tested for Polyoma as well as Psittacosis through 6 days worth of faeces collected as a sample (it was the less invasive way to do it, which is also the reason why we have not tested him for PBFD as he already has little feather and we didn't feel it was fair on him to have one of his feathers ripped off for the testing) and both came out to be negative. Although my vet mentioned that there can be false negatives (and positives) therefore I will follow your advice and try to test him again for polyoma virus, using a different method if possible :)
I noticed my female gouldian has its mouth open and is gasping for air. This is the only symptom Ive seen so far since I haven't seen a cough or change in sound when she peeps or sings. Can this be sac mites? I herd if you pick up the bird and hold it next to your ear you can hear the mites,her trouble breathing makes me want to try it. If she does have the mites and i treat her should i treat the male that is with her in the same cage even though he shows no sign he has it?
Hi, thank you for watching and commenting on our video! Scatt is a very safe product. We would recommend waiting until the chicks are weaned if possible, as the stress from handling her may result in the chicks not being cared for properly. However, if her case of mites is bad, you can go ahead and treat her safely.
@@vetafarm Thank you for your response. I think I'd rather wait. When the chicks fledge and if they show the symptoms of air sac mites, can I give Scatt?
Hi Sly, unfortunately Scatt is only registered for the use as described on this video and on the instructions on the packaging. We would not recommend diluting the product. :)
Hi again :), Many thanks for your quick reply and advice :), ok then i have to catch the birds. I have too many of them that is why i was being lazy and wishing or searching for a way for less work :). Many thanks again :) Have a great day! Best wishes Sly
Hello, my canary has bigger problem. I used S76 (ivermectin) and I didn't work. Vet gave me antibiotics (for bacterial infection) and it didn't work too. Then I used S76 topical on its skin.. Nothing is working! Can you help me please?
***** What exactly do you need to know ? She is 3 years old and she has this problem minimally 1 year. She is doing strange sounds, she is whistling and clicking while breathing during day and night. I have just this one canary but I had another one (female too, she probably does not have Air sac mites ) and they were in one cage together. But the second female died in february this year. Since that time she is less active, but just little bit.
***** No, sorry. I am from Slovakia, Europe. I dont know name of antibiotics, but I know it was for bacterial infection. I want to add, we have fireplace, so I replaced the cage away from smoke. But the distance between cage and fireplace is 5 meter and there is 23 °C. She was whistling all night and here is morning now and she is sill doing it. 2 weeks ako, she wanted to "sing " and it was good, but now it sounds Like she can not and like she is hoarse.
***** I want ask something else. She is doing splutter sounds, I dont know, if you understand what I mean but I hope so. Does it mean she is getting rid of death mites? I am afraid of her. Can I help her somehow to better/ easier breathing?
I am in Thailand am my Gouldian Finches have air sac mites. I can not get any treatment here and I am lost as to what to do now. 2 have died already. I found one vet, but he wanted me to catch the birds from my aviary and take them in.....over an hour away. I have nearly 20 birds. I think that is too stressful for them. He wanted to put the ivermectin into the mouths of the birds!
Hi, thank you for your comment! Scatt and Avimec are slightly different to each other with different active ingredients. Scatt is suitable for both Air Sac Mite, and Scaly Face Mite treatments.
Your bird may be sneezing due to the Air Sac mite being in its airways. If this is the case, it will need to be treated for the mite. But we would recommend initially taking it to your local veterinarian for examination to make sure that it is not something else causing the sneezing. :)
Can you use it if canary has scaly legs?If i give it for this reason should i give biotic or not?One drop and again one more after 21 days will be oke?
Hi, thank you for watching our video! The Vetafarm Breeding Aid is an oil-based breeding supplement for birds to assist in egg production and hatchability. It contains a unique formulation of fatty acids and vitamins. It can be used as an overnight soak on seeds, oils naturally penetrate through the seed hull into the kernel through osmosis. It assists in the normal development of egg membranes and assists birds in producing the maximum amount of fertile eggs. Use breeding aid during breeding season to enhance breeding success and egg membrane formation, assisting in egg production and hatchability. It is particularly useful for smaller birds that produce large numbers of eggs or multiple clutches. Additional vitamin, mineral and calcium supplements are still advised for birds on seed diets. Feeding Directions : Mix 20mL of Breeding Aid per 1kg (1 ½ fl oz. Per 5lb) of seed thoroughly by hand and allow the mixture to sit for 12 to 24 hours to maximise seed absorption. Batches of seed can be made up to last a week, with treated seed not used in the first day being stored in the refrigerator. At this dose rate, you can also mix it with other foods before feeding.
I've put a single drop on my canary this morning, however it landed on the feathers rather than the skin. Would it be recommended to retry tomorrow or shall I wait 21 days? The symptoms have not been eased, she still has difficulty breathing
She woke up today, the first night after treatment and appears very sleepy. Not sure if she ate anything this morning, she's been less active since giving her the scatt mite treatment. She was clicking and struggling to breathe through the night at different points in time
+Akhi Qureshi bird is awake now and eating and drinking fine. She's a bit more quiet than usual. I'm wondering if it's the medicine in her system? I'm not sure...vetafarm please advise.
Hi Akhi, thank you for commenting on our RUclips video. It sounds like your canary has an advanced case of Air Sac Mite. It will be safe to give your canary one more drop. The closest you can get the treatment to the skin, the better the outcome of the treatment.
+Vetafarm thank you for replying, I very much appreciate it. I haven't applied any further drop to her yet, however she's sleeping well from the sounds of it tonight. Only heard clicking once or twice but much quieter breathing tonight though still some difficulty. I'll wait a few more days before adding another drop as I think she seems a bit traumatised from catching her, she's been quiet since administering the treatment.
hi sir good day my cackatiel is been pluck feather in her neck i dont know why..they said that the one who pluck it is his partner...can u help me to find way to refeather her neck part? thanks and have a blessed day
thanks sir but it over now..sad to say but my female bird is died because of of over plucking of the male bird...:( but now i know next time i have an idea...thank you so much sir..im still have 20 pair sir..thank you so much for the info
The world needs more bird vets! I have a canary that when we got her had teeny little lump just above the beak where it turns fleshy. Didn't seem to bother her so we thought it was just a little defect and her birth mark or something. Then it grew and baldness started happening on her face. Her eyes became watery and she was always wiping her face. She no longer looked happy. I gave her a week long course of Baytril and saw the lump had a little scab. I thought abscess, so I gently picked at the scab and sure enough it fell off and hard pus came out. I cleaned her up and carried on the Baytril. Feather loss continued to go round the sides of her face but after the baytril she became more her old self again. But now her eyes are a little water again and there are another couple of lumps. I think she is in pain because she shouts when I try to look at her and touch her face. There is a soft yellowy swelling on her lower cheek/jaw on one side and now her breathing is open mouthed and laboured and also a sort of squeaky noise. She sneezes a lot and still rubs her face but the feathers are starting to return. We were told it was a vitamin D deficiency and the abscesses were ingrowing feathers. I am not so sure but she is the ONLY one with any kind of symptoms and this has been getting slowly worse since about March. I am worried about her and am wondering if she needs more antibiotics. However I know too much can kill her but if I do nothing, she is dead anyway. We did separate her but she got very depressed and stopped eating, drinking and even moving. She is now starting to look sorry for herself again. Any ideas? Also a canary mother of ours (no longer will be bred) chewed off the top part of the beak on it's day old baby so I hand reared it as it survived somehow. Does the beak grow back? Don't care if it does because we love it anyway and it is now somehow managing to eat seed. Thanks
Hi Joanna, it sounds like your canary may potentially be displaying signs of Canary Pox. This is a virus transmitted by mosquitoes. As it is a virus there are no drugs you can give that will cure the disease, I would think that the Baytril is assisting in combating any secondary infections that are occurring. I strongly recommend trying to mosquito-proof your aviaries to reduce the risk of future disease spread. Your current, unwell Canary may survive the initial infection, once she builds an immunity to the virus she will carry it but no longer be symptomatic.
The broken beaked baby will not grow it's beak back.
I researched the pox for hours because that is what we feared it was. However we have ruled it out because everywhere we read and people we spoke to said that she and all the other birds would be dead by now. She has had the lump when we got her in March and it is now September. Normally pox kills in a couple of weeks and all the others should be dead too. However there are no signs of anything in any of the others so whatever it is, it can't be catching. That is why we thought it must be some kind of infection.
It looked like the beak was trying to come back but it was split in the middle like a cleft lip but I think the eating of seeds has worn it away some. It's a happy little thing.
Joanna Faro till the first egg lay or week or a month
Did you resolve this issue? Please respond, my canary is showing similar symptoms.
I think I have finally found out why my budgie has been sick. Thank you so much
What is the name of the product?
Thanks for the video. How do I know it works well? How long does it take to notice the result?
Thank you for responding. I really love my bird and you've helped me . THANK YOUUUUU!!!!!!
Did u treat ur bird? Im scared for my bird and we have no vet :(
Thank you for the clear information. I have a situation where I have treated a pair of canaries with an ivermectin solution. 1% ivomec 1cc in 16 oz of water. Gave this to them as their only water source for 24 hours. The instructions were to repeat the process in two weeks.
My question is this: I have since ordered SCATT .
How long does the Ivermectin stay in the system? Can you safely use both treatments? The animals are so fragile I do not want to have a drug interaction. Thank you.
This is great. Will be treating my budgies with this method. Thanks for your help.
Our pleasure Taylor!
Hi and good day, First of all i would like really to thank you a lot for your interesting videos :). I bought your product because i saw some mites on some of my canary birds recently. I used the medicine on all my birds today. My question is : Is it enough to wait 21 days to treat the birds again at the beginning or should i treat the birds once a week for 3 weeks at the beginning like what i watched in the video?
As well i placed the drop between the shoulders ( under the skin ) so as the birds wouldn't be able to eat from it. For the future would you advice me to use the medicine on the leg or should i use the medicine between the shoulders?.
Many thanks for your time and advice :)
Best wishes
Sly
I heard that you're meant to apply the liquid onto the top of the birds back like in between its shoulders, is this true or would you recommend to put it on its thigh only
wow its that simple!? thank you!
how many times should we do this to any bird (especially new ones)?
Thank you for sorting things out, I wonder if it is ever possible to get rid of the mites in a canary? regards
Hi Dr. Gestier. Thanks for the instructional video. Today I treated my canary with Scatt for air sac mites the exact way shown in the video. I also used a 1ml syringe and filled it with ~0.05 ml of scatt. I only meant to apply one drop to his thigh but it accidently all came out so he got several drops.

OK. Thanks for reply.
Hi thankyou for the video, how long after treatment should you be seeing improvement in a canary?
I need to treat all of my canaries however, there are currently 4 babies that are being fed. Can I treat while there are babies present?
Hello, anybody? What exactly is the product he is applying?
Thank you for your comment :) The product Dr Tony Gestier is using in this video is Scatt. It is a Moxidectin based treatment for Scaly face mite and air sac mite infections in ornamental birds.
Thank you so much. you make my life easy! but, i hope i could find scatt!
Product name?
Small birds have to be treated on a monthly basis. 1 drop at back of neck close to the skin. My breeder gave me a spray to mix with water to spray cage with too. There are mites that attack birds body and some live in cage itself on bars etc...
My budgie has little black specks on his feather. I am pretty sure he has air sac mites so I just treated him for that. I can't determine what the black specks on his feathers are though?
I purchased the scatt for my canarie and put a drop between the shoulders as advised from the website but did not rub it in. When i put him back in the cage I think he shook it off fixing his feathers. What should I do...Wait 21 days and treat again they way you show in the video or should I treat again on the thigh as shown in the video right away. Any advise on this product would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I had the same problem.Don't give him cuttlefish while you are giving him antibiotics! Antibiotic Powder will be affected by the presence of calcium in the diet. calcium affects the uptake of the antibiotic.My vet told me this and you can also read it on vetafarm web page under triple C antibiotic Product Description
Is it also help full for in side worm or we have to do deworming separately
Thank you so much for this video! I just got your product today and treated the two rescue budgies I acquired last week. One is displaying symptoms of scaly face mites on around his eyes. We do have three other parakeets in a different room and I mistakenly had our cockatiel in the same room for a few hours the day we brought the rescue keets home. Should I treat my other three parakeets and the cockatiel?
I would recommend treating all of the birds that have been in contact with the affected bird.
Thank you! I will do that!
Where do i get this medicine for my canary?
My bird has the same problem but I've been using a medicine called Broncolis.... Is this one effective or should I use other? I don't know any other medicine that can be used effectively.... Any recommendations?
Hi, we are unable to comment on the efficacy of a product that is not manufactured by us. If you are unsure, we would recommend taking the bird to a veterinarian for consult and prescription. :)
some say that if you wait the 21 days new mites grow that it should be apply every 10 days to break the cycle?
Thank you!!!
I wish I had known about this sooner! I read a study about treating birds with ivermectin and then found your video.
I brought a new bird into my flock from a breeder/pet store that was unknown to me. I am convinced she brought mites with her. It would have been so simple to treat her as she came in. I do not usually bring pet store birds home. I have always used a known home breeder with strong healthy birds. What a simple solution!!!
I will be treating my flock and carefully cleaning.
Not a problem Belle! We are so glad this helped with your flock! :)
@@vetafarm Hi where can i find this in Canada i love in Montreal ?
Hi Guys at Vetafarm, i use a drop of ivermectin (already diluted to use on small birds) onto the skin to keep red-mites at bay; when i suspect air sac mites i dose the bird with one drop straight into the beak with great results i must say....now, what's your opinion on this practice? In Europe is a very common method used by us breeders. Thank You for all your great work!
Hi, I'm glad this method is proving successful for you! Unfortunately it is not something we are familiar with so cannot provide any substantial opinion on it. My only suggestion would be to ensure when applying that the birds are not inhaling any of the Ivermectin.
What's the name of the medicine please?
Hi Tony what is the name of this product and can I buy it from your stockists?
Can I apply on pigeons ? If yes than how many drops?
could you please tell me in your experience how long dose it take for air sac mite to kill a bird? my 3 year old canary died this morning but i only started seeing symptoms a few hours before:(
i just lost my female blue gouldian to air sack mites, real shame. it wasnt until after she died i found out what the problem was. i MUST get some scatt to treat all my other gouldians as ive heard clicking noises in their cages at nights and some are breathing heavily. thanks for the vid
Dr Gastier, I am keeping a zosterop that has air sac mites. After giving the treatment, how long then can i shower my bird? It baths everyday. Need help . Tks
Thank you for your question! We recommend that your bird waits at least 24 hours to bathe to ensure the product has been absorbed completely.
Hi, i have a question. I have a canary who has the mites in her legs, but not that severe. Do i have to apply one drop on each thy or just one drop on a thy? also how many times a day? and for how long? Thank you for your time and please reply as soon as you can.
Hello there. I plan to buy your product to treat air sac mite for my zebra finch. Which product is the right one to buy? Thanks
Hi Daniel, our Air Sac Mite treatment is called Scatt! :)
My 2 canaries don’t sing. Thy open their mouth but nothing but a crack comes out.
One just died. Where can I get this treatment and what is it called please?
Thank you for your comment. I am sorry to hear about your canary. This product is called Scatt. Where are you located? I may be able to put you in touch with a distributor in your area who may be able to assist you.
We are in Belgium.
I’ve added vinegar to his bath water. I see lots of dots in the water every time. So I’m guessing the skin ones are dying but how to clear the ones inside his throat?
What's the name of this stuff? Can I buy it over the counter?
This product is called Scatt, it is able to be purchased over the counter but only in certain countries (depending on product registration in that particular country).
Firstly my canary had a puffy leg so we bought Johnson anti mite extra and it was working a bit but he was still ill so we bought scatt scaly face air sac and now that we have applied the scatt , he's been feeling better but he has been losing hair and his feather always comes out easily. Please tell me what to do. I really love him and please could you respond to this.
hi i have a canary and i love him bi bought scatt but i dont have a seringe.can i just spray it on him.and how can i spare him a few days alive without scatt because its still shipping.
thx
How the birds get air sac mites? Are the mites common in normal environment and how can we prevent the mites appear in my home? Finally, is Scatt harm to human body? Please advise.
Hi Dr Gestier,I have a pair of red headed Gouldians and the female appears to be narcoleptic,she looks fine,eyes are bright{when they're open},feathers tight and shiny and she perks up when I go near the cage,leave her and off she goes again, head under her wing.I give her a good diet of millet and greens same as the male but she just wants to sleep.Any ideas? thanks

Hi there, thank you for your comment. Scatt contains Moxidectin and is an effective treatment against Scaly Face and Air Sac Mite. Full recovery may take up to 6 weeks.
@@vetafarm thank you I don't know what to do now
Thanks. Brilliant advice.
Hi, can i use Scatt orally as dewormer? since moxidectin is considered to be a safe dewormer.
+Muhammad Bilal Hi Muhammad, thanks for your question. Vetafarm have not designed Scatt as an oral treatment, so unfortunately cannot recommend it to be used in this fashion. It is also important to note that Moxidectin while a very effective worming medicine, does have its flaws. Moxidectin is completely ineffective for Tapeworm control, is unstable when mixed with water and does have resistance issues with some round worms. We recommend using a safe and effective all wormer for in water or oral treatment and control of worms such as our Wormout Gel. Check out our videos on direct administration and worming in general here: ruclips.net/video/DZOTFXVlD-M/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/X1Sf1ClvfKY/видео.html
+Vetafarm Thanks for your reply. i already used wormout Gel in water for pigeons but they don't like its taste because of bitter taste of praziquentel. i added orange juice and other flavors to it, but they wouldn't drink at all. i have 100+ pigeons and treating individual bird is hard but still i did that, never seen a single worm though. that's why i was planning to give moxidectin a try.
Hi, How long does it take to effect and see the result after first time use ? And is bathing ok for bird on the next day ?
Full recovery can take up to 6 weeks. Retreatment can be completed after 21 days if necessary. We would not recommend allowing the bird to bathe the next day.
Vetafarm Thanks 👍
@@dannys3413 not a problem at all! :)
I have a canary,older seems to not be able to see at all,head goes to the side and has a tendency to be on the cage walls alot...still eating, but does lots of clicking with beak and head shakes.have done some research but unsure of condition,anyone have any idea's..I am thinking his condition is untreatable?Poor little guy.
My bird feels and also he was loosing hair but what I would like to know is if it will grow back.
Place answer this for me please again sorry !!!!!
So I’ve realised my new canary has air sac mites and I recently just started treating it, it sleeps in the same room as my budgie (because they have the same bed time and the room I put them in is the only room that is dark and quiet) but in different cages but I am scared the air sac mites will or have started to look for fresh blood and might go to my budgie. Is this possible for them to know to go to my budgie ? I separate them in the morning in separate rooms and don’t let them out at in the same rooms as I think my budgie could kill him. But is it going to spread to my budgie if I keep to me in the same room or should I separate them even during bedtime.
Hi, thank you for commenting on our video! Air Sac Mite do tend to spread between birds in a flock, so we generally recommend completing a flock treatment for all birds in the same aviary. As these two birds are in an enclosed environment we would recommend treating both of them. :)
Hello, can scatt be used on breeding canaries? If not, how long can it be used before setting the canaries for breeding? thank You.
Hello, yes Scatt can be used on breeding canaries, it is applied on the skin. I would recommend treating before any eggs hatch as it is not recommended on very young birds.
Good work
What is the product that you are using? so i can figure out what to buy.

Hi Poppy, thank you for watching and commenting on our video! Yes a "clicking" sound is quite a common symptom for a bird with Air Sac Mite.

I'am confuse, i thought i heard you said 3 treatment every 21 days and should clear the aviary and the once or twice a year as a preventative measure. but at the end you said it's not preventative and will not prevent the bird from getting the mite it will only treat the bird if it has it. did i miss the point or i am just really confuse?
Archie Felix this medicine available in india?
Dear Dr. It is a very very useful formation to use scatt. Can we dose it on the chickes. In India some pairs of cockatiel prefer to nest in pots. Mites generate in pots so can you apply on chicks. Kindly advice
Hi, thank you for commenting and we are glad you found our video useful! We do not recommend using on chicks before fledging unless you absolutely have to.
Thank you sir for the reply and advice. I am from India. I have been to Australia during 2005 through Indo Australian Chamber of Commerce and have watched cockatiel and Cockatoo in wild. Kindly advice current mail id to know more about Vetafarm and to communicate. Thank you once again.

I just rubbed it on the effected areas with a Qtip on all of my budgies one of them came infected with air sac and scaly mites so now I treated them all I saw white mites crawling on my budgies I was using lemon grass tea originally to treat the mites I just hope that this will work my husband deep cleaned the cage using vinegar and boiling water after I medicated our birds I put them in a box with a plate of millet to apologize for breaking their trust and they waited while my husband cleaned our room and their cage I might use olive oil on their legs and beak to keep them from getting onto their faces and in their vents
Hi Rukia, thank you for watching and commenting on our video. Air Sac Mites are not generally able to be found externally on the body, as they live in the birds Air Sacs. It sounds as though your birds may have some kind of feather mite as well. Scatt will only treat Air Sac Mites and Scaly Face Mite. Therefore, if they have feather mites or some kind of external mite, we would recommend treatment with Avian Insect Liquidator.
We hope your birds recover soon!
Hi All,
I have applied Scatt on 2 my canaries thigh 4 week ago and all symptoms nearly gone gradually. 5 days ago I have repeated the treatment and surprisingly symptoms worsen significantly. My birds are not poorly but sneezing, coughing, and squeaking non-stop. Is there any logical explanation? What should I do now to save my pets?
Many thanks.
Kalms and birds Scatt has to be applied once in every 21 days, total of 3 times. In other words Day1 apply scatt, Day21 apply scatt, day43 apply scatt. When u apply one dose and wait 4 weeks you let the mites reproduce and multiply.
Dear Doctor Gestier, I would like to thank you for your helpful videos. I've learned a lot on how to handle my birds when sick from you. However, I still would like to get your opinion on one of my budgies. He has been sneezing and vomiting since the day I got him (which is now 6 months ago). He acts as normal, sings/chirps, flirts with everything, bobs his head, jumps and attempts to fly (he cannot fly though, his feathers fall before fully growing) etc. I have given him Nekton Bio to improve his feathers quality and it did work on the tail but not on his wings. As for his sneezing problem, we have tried everything. The vet did a crop wash and 2 tests for psitaccosis but came negative in both. The crop wash hasn't shown anything in particular that could cause his sneezing fits and vomiting behaviour. We started with Ivomec for a month (a drop on the back once a week so a total of 4 drops), then we were given Metronidazole, Baytril and Ornicure. Although as he was taking baytril and ornicure it seemed like he temporarely stopped sneezing, after the cure he started back shortly after. Baytril lasted 7 days and Ornicure lasted roughly 3 weeks. I don't know if I should ask the vet to give me more of one of those medication or if there is anything else I can do as they can't find anything and I don't want to make him weaker and used to the medication so much so that is not gonna have positive effects on him anymore. Is it possible to have an advice from you for this? The little baby is roughly 8-10months old and with very poor feather condition, unable to fly. Thank you
Hi,
From the description you give of your budgie I am very suspicious he has POLYOMA virus.
The poor feathering and the loss of feathers before fully mature is common with chronic Polyoma virus.
Please check with you veterinarian if they can have the Polyoma virus test done to be certain.
Although there is no cure for Polyoma virus a diagnosis helps with management.
The polyoma virus has many symptoms, sneezing and vomiting may be part of the complex.
Until you get test results I would not recommend further antibiotic treatments.
Sincerely,
Tony Gestier
Dear Doctor Gestier, Thank you very much for your reply. I really really appreciate that. Sorry I have forgotten to mention that he has been tested for Polyoma as well as Psittacosis through 6 days worth of faeces collected as a sample (it was the less invasive way to do it, which is also the reason why we have not tested him for PBFD as he already has little feather and we didn't feel it was fair on him to have one of his feathers ripped off for the testing) and both came out to be negative. Although my vet mentioned that there can be false negatives (and positives) therefore I will follow your advice and try to test him again for polyoma virus, using a different method if possible :)

I noticed my female gouldian has its mouth open and is gasping for air. This is the only symptom Ive seen so far since I haven't seen a cough or change in sound when she peeps or sings. Can this be sac mites? I herd if you pick up the bird and hold it next to your ear you can hear the mites,her trouble breathing makes me want to try it. If she does have the mites and i treat her should i treat the male that is with her in the same cage even though he shows no sign he has it?

Hi, thank you for watching and commenting on our video! Scatt is a very safe product. We would recommend waiting until the chicks are weaned if possible, as the stress from handling her may result in the chicks not being cared for properly. However, if her case of mites is bad, you can go ahead and treat her safely.
@@vetafarm Thank you for your response. I think I'd rather wait.
When the chicks fledge and if they show the symptoms of air sac mites, can I give Scatt?
You certainly can :)
@@vetafarm Thank you for your response.
My budgie took a bath 2 days later after application. Would the medication lost its effectiveness?
Because the medication would have soaked into the skin by that stage, it will be fine haitang :)

Hello, my canary has bigger problem. I used S76 (ivermectin) and I didn't work. Vet gave me antibiotics (for bacterial infection) and it didn't work too. Then I used S76 topical on its skin.. Nothing is working! Can you help me please?
***** What exactly do you need to know ? She is 3 years old and she has this problem minimally 1 year. She is doing strange sounds, she is whistling and clicking while breathing during day and night. I have just this one canary but I had another one (female too, she probably does not have Air sac mites ) and they were in one cage together. But the second female died in february this year. Since that time she is less active, but just little bit.
***** No, sorry. I am from Slovakia, Europe. I dont know name of antibiotics, but I know it was for bacterial infection. I want to add, we have fireplace, so I replaced the cage away from smoke. But the distance between cage and fireplace is 5 meter and there is 23 °C. She was whistling all night and here is morning now and she is sill doing it. 2 weeks ako, she wanted to "sing " and it was good, but now it sounds Like she can not and like she is hoarse.
***** Yes Thanks, my Vet gave me ivermectin yesterday, I drip 1 drop to her beak as he said, this morning so I hope I will see the results.
***** I want ask something else. She is doing splutter sounds, I dont know, if you understand what I mean but I hope so. Does it mean she is getting rid of death mites? I am afraid of her. Can I help her somehow to better/ easier breathing?
***** Hi, it is sill the same, even bit worse. She started to close her left eye, I really dont know why. What is happening with her?
I am in Thailand am my Gouldian Finches have air sac mites. I can not get any treatment here and I am lost as to what to do now. 2 have died already. I found one vet, but he wanted me to catch the birds from my aviary and take them in.....over an hour away. I have nearly 20 birds. I think that is too stressful for them. He wanted to put the ivermectin into the mouths of the birds!
Is this the same as avimec.? Does this treat scaly face and leg?
Hi, thank you for your comment! Scatt and Avimec are slightly different to each other with different active ingredients. Scatt is suitable for both Air Sac Mite, and Scaly Face Mite treatments.
Vetafarm would it be overdose if I use both Scatt and Avimec together?
We would not recommend using them together. :)
plz doctor just want help. can u put any treatment for sneezing..
Your bird may be sneezing due to the Air Sac mite being in its airways. If this is the case, it will need to be treated for the mite. But we would recommend initially taking it to your local veterinarian for examination to make sure that it is not something else causing the sneezing. :)
Your a life saver thank you!!!
Not a problem at all! We are glad to be able to help!
Can you use it if canary has scaly legs?If i give it for this reason should i give biotic or not?One drop and again one more after 21 days will be oke?

Plz explain about breeding aid how to use it how many days we want to use help me plz
Hi, thank you for watching our video!
The Vetafarm Breeding Aid is an oil-based breeding supplement for birds to assist in egg production and hatchability. It contains a unique formulation of fatty acids and vitamins. It can be used as an overnight soak on seeds, oils naturally penetrate through the seed hull into the kernel through osmosis. It assists in the normal development of egg membranes and assists birds in producing the maximum amount of fertile eggs.
Use breeding aid during breeding season to enhance breeding success and egg membrane formation, assisting in egg production and hatchability. It is particularly useful for smaller birds that produce large numbers of eggs or multiple clutches.
Additional vitamin, mineral and calcium supplements are still advised for birds on seed diets.
Feeding Directions : Mix 20mL of Breeding Aid per 1kg (1 ½ fl oz. Per 5lb) of seed thoroughly by hand and allow the mixture to sit for 12 to 24 hours to maximise seed absorption. Batches of seed can be made up to last a week, with treated seed not used in the first day being stored in the refrigerator.
At this dose rate, you can also mix it with other foods before feeding.
Vetafarm how many days we can feed for birds
You can give your birds Breeding Aid every day during breeding season. :)
I've put a single drop on my canary this morning, however it landed on the feathers rather than the skin. Would it be recommended to retry tomorrow or shall I wait 21 days? The symptoms have not been eased, she still has difficulty breathing
She woke up today, the first night after treatment and appears very sleepy. Not sure if she ate anything this morning, she's been less active since giving her the scatt mite treatment. She was clicking and struggling to breathe through the night at different points in time
+Akhi Qureshi bird is awake now and eating and drinking fine. She's a bit more quiet than usual. I'm wondering if it's the medicine in her system? I'm not sure...vetafarm please advise.
Hi Akhi, thank you for commenting on our RUclips video. It sounds like your canary has an advanced case of Air Sac Mite. It will be safe to give your canary one more drop. The closest you can get the treatment to the skin, the better the outcome of the treatment.
+Vetafarm thank you for replying, I very much appreciate it. I haven't applied any further drop to her yet, however she's sleeping well from the sounds of it tonight. Only heard clicking once or twice but much quieter breathing tonight though still some difficulty. I'll wait a few more days before adding another drop as I think she seems a bit traumatised from catching her, she's been quiet since administering the treatment.
Not a problem Akhi. We wish you all the best with her treatment, we hope she recovers quickly! :)

Hello Yhanz, there are many possible reasons why a bird may pluck. Is the bird plucking its own feathers or is another bird pulling them out?
in one cage there is 2 birds that is partner i think the male one pluck it...how can solved it sir?
Sometimes male birds will pluck females or themselves when it is breeding time. If he does not stop plucking her you should separate the birds.
