What Medpet says it is for

Medpet’s official page: “For the treatment of Psittacosis and bacterial infections in single cage birds.” Medpet also says doxycycline is the golden standard in the treatment of psittacosis and bacterial infections in cage birds; the easy-to-use formulation is ideal for single cage birds; vitamins and dextrose are added to enhance recovery; and high palatability helps ensure adequate intake.

The official 50 g pack is marked “FOR CAGE BIRD USE ONLY” and “AS AN AID IN THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF BACTERIAL INFECTIONS AND PSITTACOSIS IN CAGE-BIRDS.”

Medpet’s August 2023 avian-disease notes name Doxybiotic-S as the cage-bird counterpart to Doxybiotic Plus for ornithosis/psittacosis. Those notes do not list Doxybiotic-S for Candida / yeast infection (they name Medistatin for that use).

How to use | Official Medpet directions

  • Add 5 g (1 heaped measure, included) to 50 ml of drinking water for 7–10 consecutive days
  • In case of psittacosis, treatment must be extended to 20–40 days
  • Change medicated water daily

Label first: Directions above are from Medpet’s official January 2022 products-and-dosage sheet for Doxybiotic-S 50 g. Confirm the course with your vet. Medpet’s avian-disease notes also say to remove calcium sources (for example grit and minerals) during Doxybiotic treatment.
