Hi Tony.... hope all is well with you and your loved ones in the midwest.
I would like for you to take a moment and answer something in regards to the recent pigeon 4 in 1 Rx powder that I purchased from you.
NOTE: On the white plastic 100 gram bottle it says this below.
"Suggested dosage is 1 teaspoon (5 grams) per gallon of drinking water for 7 days."
QUESTION: Is this a recommendation for a sick bird in particular.... or is it a standard recommended dosage for an entire flock of pigeons?
Thanx in advance!

Hey Marcus, thanks again for your order. It is always a pleasure doing business with our site members.
As for your question, in the literal sense, we use the product to treat a bird or birds with canker, e-coli, paratyphoid and coccidiosis.
Now the instructions on the bottle are not clear on your question, if a single bird should consume an entire gallon per day for 7 days or if the amount is intended for an entire flock consuming their normal daily ration of water.
However, I have used the suggested measurements for flock treatment with the results I was looking for.
Obviously, a single pigeon is not going to consume an entire gallon of water a day. So my mind tells me that the 1 teaspoon to 1 gallon merely dispenses a proper dosage to a pigeon within a flock as it drinks its normal daily water ration.
I use powders for flock treatment and tablets for individual treatment. I hope this information is useful.
Note: For specific dosage and treatment using any medication, consult a local avian veterinarian.

Tony... the point I'm getting at is should I give my entire flock a gallon of the water treated with the Rx powder for one day.
...or
Should I give it to them for 7 consecutive days?
{P.S.} They don't like the 4 in 1 Powder much... but I'm sure it's going to help my program.

Hey Marcus, the bottle says 7 days. I have to assume it is for a sick flock or one you suspect numerous birds within the flock of being sick.

That All in One is what I'm using with the probiotics in it.Before breeding and after the moult,whole flock.
Have a sick kitbird now for about 4 days,I don't know what it is it has other than runny shit and real lethargic,started giving it all in one right away and seeing a real improvement since yesterday.Just to be safe,I'll give her some of my raspberry yogurt after the 5 days med period.
