Treatment of choice for Protozoal Diseases

Symptoms of Protozoal Infections: canker or large yellowish masses in the throat or crop weight loss regurgitation dried saliva around beak Active ingredient: Ronidazole 6%

Ronex is a water soluble, water stable chemical that has extremely high safety margins. It can be used at any stage of the birds breeding cycle to combat protozoal infection. Ronex will not make the male birds infertile.

Canker is the most commonly encountered protozoal disease in aviculture. It can devastate pigeon and budgie breeding flocks and is a significant disease in exhibition canaries. The classic "cankers" (large yellowish masses in the throats and crops of birds) are the "tip of the iceberg" when it comes to the disease. Many other effects are seen from Trichomonads.

Because Protazoa are persistent organisms, treatments need to be part of any aviary management program. Preventative treatments are recommended to control the disease. New introductions and birds in quarantine should be routinely treated at recommended rates.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Ronex successfully treats motile protozoa such as Trichomonas, Giardia, Hexamita, and Cochlosoma. Add ½ teaspoon of RONEX to 2 quarts of clean drinking water and administer for 7 days. Use as bird’s only source of drinking water.

Resistance to antiprotozoal drugs is common. Unlike the other chemicals in its group, Ronidazole is safe to administer at up to 5 times recommended rate. In difficult situations treatment at 5X dose for 3 days then normal dose for 4 days has been found to be effective. If bird does not improve or condition worsens, consult a veterinarian.

PRECAUTIONS:
Keep out of reach of children. Not for use in birds whose meat or eggs are intended for human consumption.
