MEDPET 4 IN 1: Ingredients: FURALTANDONE 20% & RONIDAZOLE 7%

TREATMENT FOR COCCIDIOSIS, BLACKHEAD, HEXAMITIASIS, CANKER, SALMONELLA, PULLORUM & E. COLI…also Bacterial gastroenteritis, Fowl Typhoid, Coryza, Colisepticemia, infectious Bronchitis, infectious Synovitis, Pneumonia and Giardiasis.
Currently, all the drugs for the treatment of Blackhead lost their FDA approval during the 90s because there was a slight chance they were carcinogens. These drugs are no longer added to feeds or advertised as treatments for Blackhead.
The good news is that the different drugs used to treat Blackhead are still around because they are effective in treating other diseases and in other animals like cats, dogs and even humans. It is just that they can no longer be advertised as a Blackhead treatment.
If you have a Peacock, Turkey, Pheasant or other poultry that looks droopy with ruffled feathers and has diarrhea, it is almost certain that it has picked up either Coccidiosis or Blackhead. However, a droopy bird with diarrhea is symptomatic of just about every other affliction that peacocks and other poultry can suffer. The best thing to do is to treat them immediately with the MedPet 4 in 1 at the rate of 1 teaspoon per gallon of water for 5 days. Otherwise, your bird will die a little every hour that passes without treatment. Be sure to combine the MedPet 4 in 1 treatment with the worm medication Safeguard at the rate of ½ teaspoon per gallon of water.
THE DEADLY PROTOZOAS that cause Blackhead, Coccidiosis and Hexamitiasis are transmitted by worms. So, always remember that a good worming regimen with Safeguard will act as a good preventative. Use ½ teaspoon per gallon of water for 3 days. If you have not wormed regularly, repeat the process in 10 days and then again in September and April or more often, like every 3 months, if your Peacocks range with Chickens.

1/2 teaspoon Safeguard per gallon for three days is very unlikely to treat any worms. Best amount to use is 0.23 ml per pound *orally* and repeat in ten days. That amount will treat cecal worms and roundworms.

Also note that most sick birds aren't drinking, so best to give them medications orally or by injection.

MEDPET 4 in 1 also comes in tablets. Most people do not know how to give injections. Treating by water is effective if administered in a timely manner.

1/2 tsp of SafeGaurd is a widely used and very effective broad spectrum worm medication. Many have a 100 or more poultry birds they are trying to treat. This makes is highly unlikely they are going to capture each one and administer the worm medication directly into the birds mouth for three consecutive days.

Cecal and round worms are not the only worms that SafeGuard is effective for. Here is a complete list of the others:

cecal worms, capillary worms, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, the taenia species of tapeworms, pinworms, gape worms, lung worms, flukes, nematode worms and nematode larva. Deadly protozoans are also transmitted by worms.

Anyone that can figure out how to hold a bird can give IM injections.

Sigh... 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) of Safeguard in the water will treat *nothing*, and many people have lost their birds think this was an effective way to de-worm. Trust me, it is not a good way to to de-worm.

IMO, the most effective Safeguard dose for cecal worms is 0.23ml per pound once and repeat in ten days. For gapeworms and capillary worms, it's 0.23ml per pound for *five* consecutive days.

Here is a necropsy picture from a bird that had been given Safeguard at 3cc per gallon.

Ronidazole and Furaltadone are what is needed to treat protozoan and a broad spectrum of bacterial disease. They are not available in an infectable form.

@PeacockMan, what is the dose, in mg, for each medication? Please don't say just mix it in the water, lol, 'cause we all know a sick bird isn't gonna drink enough water.

It is true that those who neglect their sick birds often do not attempt medicating them until they are stretched out on the grown. At that point one would have to hope that 250mgs of tablets would help.

Ronidazole and Furaltadone comprise the compound known as Medpet 4 in 1. It comes in powder and tablet form.
