Doxycycline + Tylosin Powder

Ornithose psittacose is the French name pair for ornithosis / psittacosis — chlamydial disease in birds. This water-soluble doxycycline + tylosin combo powder is commonly used when keepers need dual antibiotic coverage for that kind of susceptible bacterial respiratory illness in pet birds and pigeons.

Before using

What ornithose / psittacose means here

Keepers and European labels often write ornithose and psittacose for the same chlamydial complex English calls ornithosis / psittacosis (Chlamydia psittaci). Combo doxycycline + tylosin powders are also used for other susceptible respiratory problems, including mycoplasma-related air sac disease, when a vet directs that approach.

Not effective against viruses, fungi, or parasites. If birds do not improve, reassess with a vet.

How to use | Common directions on this listing

  • 1 teaspoon (about 5 g) per 1 gallon of drinking water
  • Offer treated water as the only water source during treatment
  • Mix fresh every day; discard leftover medicated water
  • Typical course on this listing: 5–7 consecutive days

Pack note: one 100 g packet treats about 20 gallons at the 5 g/gallon rate above. Chlamydial disease often needs a longer veterinary-directed course than a short respiratory course — confirm days on your pack and with your vet.

Strengths can vary by manufacturer. Always follow the label on the packet in your hand.

After antibiotics

Antibiotics can disrupt normal gut flora. Many keepers follow with a bird probiotic once the course ends — ask your vet for timing.
