    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Avimec used for?

    Avimec is a topical ivermectin treatment designed to control scaly face mites (burrowing mites) in birds, particularly budgerigars. These mites burrow into the skin and can cause deformities, pain, and difficulty eating if left untreated.

    How do you apply Avimec to birds?

    Apply drops to an unfeathered area of skin (such as under the wing or on the back). Do not apply directly onto the affected crusty areas. Repeat weekly for three treatments.

    What is the correct dosage?

    Under 30g bodyweight: 1 drop 30–100g bodyweight: 2 drops Dosage should be repeated once weekly for 3 weeks for effective control.

    Do all birds need to be treated?

    Yes. Scaly face mites are highly contagious, so all birds in the aviary should be treated at the same time, even if they are not showing symptoms.

    How long does it take to see results?

    Improvement typically begins within weeks, but full recovery can take up to 6 weeks, depending on the severity of the infestation and consistency of treatment.
