Clavamox

My new bird canary came in sick with sinus infection. Left nostril completely closed by mucus and right nostril has on/off wet no color discharge. Doxycycline we did 2 course(each course 12 days) and it helped to resolve half of the symptoms but we aren’t seeing further results and clavamox was suggested as next antibiotics
. What is your suggestion on dosage and if clavamox best next to go for upper respiretory issue without culture test situations?

Greatly appreciated

Hi,

We can’t give out veterinary advice by law. No antibiotic should ever be administered without being under the care of a Veterinarian. The Vet needs to run tests to know what is wrong with the bird and how to treat it. A bird can’t be diagnosed only on symptoms. There can be a number of ailments that cause the same symptoms.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
