Gape worms

[SplashSilkie]

I was wondering how long after treatment will the symptoms from gape worms disappear?

If you are using the proper medications, you should see improvements in a few days. Safeguard is a great treatment for gape worms. However, there is a virus out there that attacks the larynx that mimics gape worms...Laryngotracheitis...a viral infection in the respiratory tract. It causes the bird to gasp for air. I am not sure if there is a treatment for this, however there are vacines for it.

Good luck with your bird.
