This veterinary medicine is marketed in accordance with Schedule 6 of the Veterinary Medicines Regulations – Exemptions for small pet animals.

Air-sac mites live in the respiratory tract (trachea, air-sacs, bronchi and lungs) of birds. The 2 species that are most susceptible to these mites are Lady Gouldian Finches and Canaries. Studies have found that the pregnant adult female mite produces eggs that hatch within the female and are then born alive as nymphs. Laboratory experiments with the air-sac mite indicate that the life cycle (from egg to adult) can take place in 6 days. However this nymph stage does not always mature immediately and can remain in dormancy within the respiratory tract for extended periods of time. Their maturity and activity is triggered by high temperatures and stressful periods for the birds. For more information on air sac mites Quik Gel can be included in the treatment plan as an immediate and important sustained energy source to help accelerate recovery, act as a disinfectant and stress vitamin. When treating scaly mites, you should apply the undiluted S76 with a Q-tip or cotton bud one day each week for 6-8 weeks directly to the affected skin, taking precautions to keep it out of the eyes and nostrils. The same day each week you should administer the S76 in the drinking water. S76 & Quik Gel is given 1 day each month to breeding birds as prevention or 2 consecutive days each month when ambient temperatures are above 22 degrees for an immediate and important sustained energy source to help accelerate recovery. Remove all other water sources including fresh greens, fruit and vegetables on the days of the S76 treatment
