Description
Spartrix
Presentation: A round white uncoated tablet with one side scored and the other inscored `Janssen' for oral administration. Each tablet contains Carnidazole 10 mg.
Uses: As a treatment for canker (trichomoniasis) in homing/racing pigeons. A single oral dose is effective against Trichomonas columbae, the cause of pigeon canker.
Dosage and administration: 1 tablet per adult pigeon (i.e. 10 mg per pigeon). Half tablet per young pigeon. A single dose is usually sufficient. Cases which do not respond within 3 days may be treated again.
Consult your veterinary surgeon if symptoms do not regress after the second treatment. To ensure the full benefit of Spartrix, all pigeons in the loft should be treated at the same time, immediately before feeding. All waterbowls should be removed in advance and thoroughly disinfected.
