All milk thistle extract comes from the seed, just to clear that bit up. As for dosage, I think Hezz would be best to help with that.

Hey everyone, hope you guys are doing alright. Marshmallow's been fine the past few months (wanted to update y'all), no new growths -- just a typically happy baby. I bought extract for him, but now that it has *finally* arrived, I think that I bought the wrong one, and I'd like to double-check with you before I give him anything. See, mine hays "Milk Thistle Seed" on it, and I didn't notice the difference before I bought it. Please let me know if this is safe for him, and if so, how much per 100 mL should I give? Thank you in advance! birdies, I found the same on the bottle I’ve just started as well. Going over the whole bottle label, the “seed” exchanged for “extract” is the only difference in wording on the whole label, so I’m using mine in the same way as before. Dosage, well you may have to play around with that a bit yourself. I’d start on one or two drops into 100mls and see how he is, increase if you see no improvement, trying dropping down if doing really well. It is not an exact science, depending on how compromised the bird is.

I'll start him off with your suggestion and see if he even drinks the water. A lil' worried about that, but we'll see how it goes.
After how much time do you reckon I should look for improvement/changes? A month or two?

I can’t give a time-frame, each bird is different, but if after a month you don’t see any difference, increase the dosage a little, just a drop. Never had a bird reject milk thistle water and have ones who don’t need it seeming to seek it out.
