Imagine...A large family of Air Sac Bird Mites crawling around in your nostrils.Pleasant? Well, Air Sac Bird Mites may be invading the airways of your canary bird right now...
Air Sac Mites can be devastating to your canary or
other pet bird. In a severe infestation these blood suckers
will take up residence in your bird's --throat --lungs --nostrils and --air sacs. PLUS... Air Sac Mites can get so numerous they'll kill your
pet bird. Use good canary care and watch for these... Symptoms.
In a mild case your canary might... --stop singing --lose luster in feathers --sit puffed up In severe cases you'll see... --breathing difficulties --coughing and sneezing --nasal discharge --open mouth
breathing --tail bobbing up and down --weakness --weight loss --loss of
voice --clicking sounds. Eventually death by suffocation--complete blockage
of the air passages--will overtake your pet bird. Not pleasant...and can you imagine having a family
of bird mites living and crawling around in you nostrils? YIKES!
That can't feel good. Makes me itch just thinking about it. Usually the repeated sneezing and clicking sounds
will tell you that your canary has an
infestation of Air Sac Bird Mites. However... There are
other diseases that may cause these symptoms too...so... If possible see a vet. He can do a tracheal
swab to see what's in there...then treat accordingly.
And speaking of... Treatment.
You may decide to take matters into your own hands.
If so... Use SCATT. SCATT is a liquid solution
containing moxidectin which attacks the nervous system of the bird
mites but is harmless to your canary. Just a drop on your birds skin will virtually
eradicate any mite or lice that is feeding on your canary's blood. Although, bird mites can be fatal if ignored...this
disease is easily treated. Get some SCATT today. If your pet canary is
