Medicine For Joey

[johnh]

Contacted our vet today ( 4th Feb ) prior to Joey's appointment on the 5th, told the vet that Joey is showing symptoms of Canker and asked if he could supply Ronidazole ( Ronnivet - S ) we had seen mentioned on the Budgerigars Forum.

He said No they did not stock it and couldn't get hold of it.

Can anyone supply information Please if there is anywhere in South Yorks where we could purchase it from and how much it is likely to cost ?

Others have had the same problem, John. It seems Ronidazole doesn't make it onto most vets' shelves. The best way to get hold of it is on-line. I have a feeling it has a short shelf-life and this may be why vets don't stock it. I don't know about them not being able to get hold of it ........ if it is available on line.

Just having a quick look on-line and can't find a supplier in the UK. Here in Aust it is about $20 for 25g.

But have a look through these threads, you may find out more going through them (sorry, I haven't time atm).
