Metronidazole for Fish: Effective Aquarium Disease Control

Metronidazole treats various aquarium diseases caused by bacteria and protozoa. Poor water conditions or stress commonly trigger infections that metronidazole effectively addresses:

Hexamita (Hole-in-the-Head Disease): Quickly heals lesions and stops infection progression.
Ichthyophthirius (Ich): Effectively controls protozoal parasites causing white spots.
Internal Parasites: Helps eliminate parasites causing bloating, lethargy, and poor appetite.
Bacterial Infections: Addresses internal infections and supports rapid fish recovery.

For aquarium treatment, dissolve one dose (250 mg or 500 mg) per 10 gallons of water every 48 hours for 5–7 treatments. Remove activated carbon filters during the medication period.

Metronidazole for Birds: Proven Treatment for Avian Infections

Birds are vulnerable to bacterial and protozoal infections that can compromise their health. Metronidazole effectively treats:

Trichomoniasis (Canker): Clears mouth and throat lesions, improving feeding and health.
Giardiasis: Reduces diarrhea, dehydration, and general discomfort quickly.
General Digestive Infections: Promotes digestive recovery and overall bird vitality.

Administer metronidazole by mixing it into drinking water or soft food daily for 7–10 days. Birds typically show noticeable improvement within the first several days.
