What is Psittavet?
Psittavet is a medication commonly used for birds, particularly parrots, to treat and prevent diseases caused by Chlamydia psittaci, which is a type of bacteria that can cause respiratory and other health issues in birds. Birds can contract this bacteria through contact with infected birds or contaminated environments. Psittavet is essential for treating and preventing these infections in pet birds, ensuring their health and well-being. It is important for bird owners to consult with a veterinarian before using Psittavet to ensure proper dosage and administration for their specific bird's needs.
What problems could my pet have with Psittavet?
While Psittavet is an effective medication for treating and preventing diseases caused by Chlamydia psittaci in birds, there are some potential problems or side effects that pet owners should be aware of. Some birds may experience mild side effects such as gastrointestinal upset, loss of appetite, or changes in droppings when taking Psittavet. In rare cases, more severe side effects such as allergic reactions or liver toxicity may occur. It is important for bird owners to closely monitor their pet while on Psittavet and to consult with a veterinarian if any concerning symptoms or side effects arise. Additionally, it is crucial to follow the veterinarian's instructions regarding dosage and administration to minimize the risk of adverse effects and ensure the medication's effectiveness in treating and preventing infections in pet birds.
Is there anything I need to know about administering Psittavet?
When administering Psittavet to your pet bird, it is crucial to follow the veterinarian's instructions carefully. Here are some important points to keep in mind: 1. Dosage: Ensure that you are giving the correct dosage of Psittavet as prescribed by your veterinarian. Do not exceed or skip doses unless instructed otherwise. 2. Administration: Psittavet can be given orally or mixed with the bird's food or water. Make sure your bird consumes the full dose to ensure effectiveness. 3. Monitoring: Keep a close eye on your bird while they are on Psittavet. Watch for any changes in behavior, appetite, droppings, or overall health. If you notice any concerning symptoms or side effects, contact your veterinarian immediately. 4. Duration: Administer Psittavet for the full course of treatment as prescribed by your veterinarian, even if your bird's symptoms improve. Stopping the medication prematurely can lead to incomplete treatment and potential recurrence of the infection. 5. Storage: Store Psittavet as per the instructions on the packaging. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and other pets. By following these guidelines and working closely with your veterinarian, you can ensure the safe and effective administration of Psittavet to your pet bird.
Important information to know when ordering prescription medicines
A prescription is required from your veterinarian before we can supply this product.
If this is a new prescription, to enable immediate dispensing, please ask the vet to send a copy of the prescription to us prior to mailing it.
If the original prescription is in your possession, then please upload this to your pet's profile in VetRx prior to mailing it.
Please note that we must receive either a copy of the prescription from the vet, or the original prescription before we can dispatch your order. This does unfortunately add to the order processing time, however this is a requirement placed upon all pharmacies by the Health Regulators.
Only once a conformant electronic prescription system is approved by NSW Health, will we be able to end the need for paper prescriptions.
