Section 1: Symptoms of Psittacine鹦鹉 Trichomoniasis

When鹦鹉contract trichomoniasis, the early signs can be quite noticeable. The affected bird may exhibit a lack of energy, ruffled feathers, decreased appetite, and weakness. It may also lose weight gradually. You might observe a thin, green or yellowish mucous in the mouth, accompanied by vomiting, which has a foul smell.

As the disease progresses, the bird may develop cheesy accumulations and ulcerative necrotic lesions in its mouth, sinus, esophagus, and crop mucosa, potentially causing partial or complete obstruction of food passage. In the later stages, the bird's throat and neck may swell into nodules, making it difficult to eat and leading to a complete loss of appetite. This can result in further weight loss and malnutrition. The liver may also become hard, and yellow or greenish circular spots may appear.

It's important to note that symptoms can vary between different species of parrots. If you suspect your鹦鹉 has trichomoniasis, it's advisable to seek veterinary guidance for proper treatment.

1. Preventive Measures:

Regularly clean the cage and other breeding utensils to maintain a clean environment. Frequently sanitize the food and water containers. Before pairing adult parrots for breeding, consider administering a preventive medication to avoid transmission to both the adults and the chicks. If an infection is detected, isolate the sick bird immediately to prevent the spread. Pay special attention to prevention during seasonal changes, sudden temperature drops, and humid weather. You can also give your parrots a preventive dose of the Keguo Trichomoniasis Coccidiosis TwoinOne medicine, mixing 5g of the drug with 1000ml of water or 1kg of feed.

2. Treatment Methods:

Treat the affected bird with 10mg to 40mg of metronidazole daily, adjusting the dosage based on the bird's size and under veterinary supervision. Divide the dose into 2 to 3 feedings per day and continue treatment for several days. During treatment, you can also provide the bird with vitamin C. Alternatively, you can use the Keguo Trichomoniasis Coccidiosis TwoinOne medicine, mixing 5g of the drug with 1000ml of water or 1kg of feed, and administering the appropriate amount to the bird daily for 3 to 5 days.
