For the birds to be considered to be under his / her care a veterinary surgeon must have been given responsibility for the birds by the owner or the owner’s agent. In addition the veterinary surgeon must have acquired from personal knowledge and inspection an up to date picture of the current health status of the birds. Hence it is not legal for veterinary surgeons to supply medicines on demand for birds about which they have no detailed knowledge.

This discussion of medications is for information only, and is not to be used as an aid to diagnosis or treatment, nor as a replacement for Professional advice from your Veterinary Surgeon.
