Sulfamethoxazole is a sulfonamide antibiotic, and it is almost always used in combination with trimethoprim (TMP). This combination (SMZ-TMP) has a synergistic effect, meaning the two drugs work together to be more effective than either drug used alone. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, meaning it is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Our Bird Sulfa products provide a reliable source of this effective antibiotic combination for your birds.

How to Use Bird Sulfa (Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim):

  • Dosage: It is crucial to consult with an avian veterinarian for accurate dosage instructions. Dosage is dependent on the species of bird, its weight, and the severity of the infection. Do not attempt to self-diagnose or treat your bird without veterinary guidance. The information on the product label should be used in conjunction with veterinary advice.
  • Administration: SMZ-TMP can be administered orally (directly into the beak), in the drinking water, or mixed with food, depending on the product formulation. Follow the instructions provided by your veterinarian and on the product label.
  • Treatment Duration: Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your veterinarian, even if symptoms improve.

Important Considerations:

  • Accurate Diagnosis: It is essential to have a veterinarian diagnose the bird’s illness before using antibiotics. SMZ-TMP will not be effective against viral, fungal, or parasitic infections.
  • Probiotics: Antibiotics can disrupt the beneficial gut flora in birds. Your veterinarian may recommend using probiotics during or after treatment.
  • Consult a Veterinarian: Consulting a qualified avian veterinarian is strongly recommended before administering any medication to your bird.
