Birds + Parasites

  • Metronidazole (brand name Flagyl®) is used off label in the treatment of certain infections, such as those caused by Giardia and Trichomonas, in dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and other animals. It is often used to treat diarrhea and other intestinal problems.

  • Primaquine is a drug used to treat babesiosis in cats, a condition caused by a blood parasite (Babesia felis). Primaquine has also been used to treat blood parasites in owls and raptor birds. Primaquine is not recommended for use in dogs as they are highly susceptible to its side effects.
