What Medpet says it is for

Medpet’s official page: “NEW AND IMPROVED HIGH-STRENGTH FORMULA: For flock treatment of Psittacosis/Ornithosis and bacterial infections in pigeons and cage birds.” Medpet also calls doxycycline the golden standard in the treatment and prevention of psittacosis/ornithosis, notes that vitamins are included to enhance recovery, and says it can be used in the water or soft food.

The official 200 g pack is marked “FOR CAGEBIRDS AND PIGEON USE ONLY” and “AS AN AID IN THE PREVENTION OF BACTERIAL INFECTIONS IN PIGEONS AND CAGEBIRDS.”

In Medpet’s August 2023 avian-disease notes, Doxybiotic Plus is the treatment of choice for ornithosis/chlamydiosis/psittacosis in pigeons (with Doxybiotic-S named for cage birds).

How to use | Official Medpet directions

  • Add 5 g (1 heaped measure, included) to 1 litre of drinking water for 5–7 consecutive days
  • Change medicated water daily
  • May also be used in soft food, per Medpet’s product page

Confirmed psittacosis: Medpet’s product page says treatment must be given for 40 days and supplemented with Entero-Plus three times a week to replace beneficial gut bacteria. Medpet also says the product is safe to use, even for extended periods. Confirm the course with your vet.

Medpet’s August 2023 avian-disease notes add: during Doxybiotic treatment, all sources of calcium (for example grit and minerals) must be removed.
