Medical Treatment
An avian veterinarian is someone who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of avian disease, locate one before you need one. This person may save your bird's life. There are a growing number of veterinarians available and members of bird associations or clubs that often have good insight into finding a good avian veterinarian.
Medications
Over-the-counter medications are usually ineffective in treating disease. Most of these products are not approved by the FDA and therefore, their effectiveness, purity and potency are not proven. Over-the-counter medical advice should always be verified by an avian veterinarian, who is trained in treating avian diseases.
