Description

Enrofloxacin 10% Oral Solution for Birds (1000 ml): What This Bottle Is and How It Differs From Our Own-Brand Pack

Enrofloxacin is a bactericidal fluoroquinolone antibiotic, strongest against gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella and Pasteurella, and also active against Mycoplasma. When an avian veterinarian identifies a susceptible bacterial infection in a bird and chooses enrofloxacin, a solution is the format that allows an accurate dose for one bird.

This is a 1000 ml bottle of enrofloxacin 10% oral solution from a different supplier to our own-brand pack. Please read the section below before ordering — it explains what we can and cannot confirm about this particular bottle, so you can choose between the two with the difference in front of you.

Important Notice: this is an antibiotic for birds. It is not for human use and not for poultry or other food-producing birds. Always consult a qualified avian veterinarian for diagnosis, product choice and dose.

What Is Enrofloxacin 10% Oral Solution for Birds (1000 ml)?

This product is a 1000 ml bottle of enrofloxacin oral solution at 10% strength, supplied by a different manufacturer from the own-brand bottle we stock in the same size.

What we can confirm: the active ingredient is enrofloxacin and the declared strength is 10%. What we cannot confirm from our stock photography: the printed directions on this pack are not in English and are not legible in the product image, so we do not reproduce them here. We will not transcribe a label we cannot read, and we will not copy figures across from a different manufacturer’s bottle.

What that means for you in practice: read the label on the bottle you receive, and take your dose from your veterinarian rather than from this page. If you would prefer a pack whose English label we have read and published in full, use our Enrofloxacin 10% Oral Solution (1000 mL) instead — it is the same active at the same strength in the same size.

Enrofloxacin is bactericidal: it inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, stopping DNA replication so susceptible bacteria die.

What Enrofloxacin 10% Oral Solution for Birds (1000 ml) Is Used For

Enrofloxacin is intended for susceptible bacterial conditions, particularly those involving the gram-negative organisms below. This section describes the active ingredient, not the specific claims of this pack, which we cannot read.

Colibacillosis

Associated with Escherichia coli. A bird may be lethargic and fluffed up, have diarrhoea and sometimes respiratory signs. E. coli is among the gram-negative bacteria enrofloxacin covers, but those signs do not identify it without veterinary assessment.

Salmonellosis and paratyphoid

Associated with Salmonella species, and a familiar problem in pigeon lofts. Signs include watery or greenish droppings, weight loss, and swollen joints or wing joints. A change in droppings or a swollen joint alone cannot establish the diagnosis.

Pasteurella infections and cat injuries

Associated with Pasteurella multocida, classically after a cat bite or scratch. Enrofloxacin’s spectrum includes Pasteurella, but a cat-injured bird needs immediate veterinary care, not a home course.

Bacterial respiratory infections

Sneezing, nasal discharge or laboured breathing may prompt investigation. Mycoplasma is within the spectrum, as are gram-negative bacteria. Respiratory signs have many causes, so match the product to the assessed organism — our guide to the antibacterial classes explains how the classes differ.

How Does Enrofloxacin 10% Oral Solution for Birds (1000 ml) Work?

Enrofloxacin kills susceptible bacteria by inhibiting DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which stops bacterial DNA replication. Its strongest activity is against gram-negative bacteria, with additional Mycoplasma activity and limited anaerobic activity.

A 10% solution is a concentrated preparation, so the volume given to a bird is small and the measurement has to be accurate. Confirm the concentration printed on the bottle you receive before drawing anything up.

Enrofloxacin 10% Oral Solution for Birds (1000 ml) Dosage and Administration

We do not publish a dose for this pack. Here is what is declared and what has to come from elsewhere.

What the label states	Value
Concentration	Enrofloxacin, declared strength 10% — confirm against the bottle supplied
Net content	1000 ml
Printed directions	Not in English; not reproduced here
Dose per bird	From your veterinarian, by body weight
Dose per bird	Not printed on the label — set by an avian veterinarian

Why we do not publish a dose for this bottle. A liquid is dosed by the
individual bird’s body weight, and a budgerigar, a pigeon and a macaw differ by orders of
magnitude. The bottle prints its concentration so a veterinarian can calculate from it; it does
not print a figure you can apply to your bird without that calculation. Ask your avian
veterinarian for the volume, the frequency and the number of days, and write it down.

Measuring accurately

Use a graduated oral syringe. Read the concentration printed on the bottle you receive, confirm it with your veterinarian, and use the volume they give you for your bird’s weight. If anything on the pack does not match what you expected, contact us before dosing.

Safety, Side Effects, and Precautions

Fluoroquinolone stewardship

Fluoroquinolones are among the antibiotics human and veterinary medicine most need to keep working. Use enrofloxacin only for a confirmed or strongly suspected bacterial infection, at the dose your veterinarian sets, for the full course. A broad spectrum is a reason to be more careful, not less.

Never combine two enrofloxacin products

This solution and our Enrofloxacin 10% Powder contain the same active. Running both at once doubles the dose without anyone intending it. Use one product, finish the course, then reassess with your veterinarian.

Not for food-producing birds

US rules prohibit extra-label fluoroquinolone use in food-producing animals. Do not use this product in chickens, ducks, quail or turkeys kept for eggs or meat, and do not apply anything on this page to a food-producing flock. See our legal and regulatory information.

Mineral binding

Calcium, magnesium and iron reduce enrofloxacin absorption. Remove mineral blocks, cuttlebone, grit and mineral supplements during treatment, and confirm any dietary change with an avian veterinarian.

Cat bites and scratches are an emergency

Pasteurella from a cat’s mouth causes sudden, severe illness in birds. The puncture wounds are often tiny and hidden under feathers. Get immediate veterinary care rather than starting a course at home and waiting to see what happens.

Not effective against fungi, viruses or parasites

Enrofloxacin is an antibiotic with limited activity against anaerobic bacteria and none against fungi, viruses or parasites. A bird with diarrhoea or respiratory signs may have a cause outside its spectrum, which is why the diagnosis has to come first.

Check the pack before you dose

Because this bottle comes from a different supplier, read its label on arrival and confirm the active ingredient, the concentration, the lot number and the expiry date. Do not apply a volume you were given for a different manufacturer’s bottle without checking that the concentrations match.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store the bottle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and keep it away from children and pets. Check the lot number and expiry date printed on the pack before use. Keep the cap clean and closed; if you dilute any of it into drinking water, make that fresh each day.

Enrofloxacin 10% Oral Solution for Birds (1000 ml) vs. Our Other Bird Medications

The most useful comparison for this page is with our own-brand bottle in the same size, which carries an English label we have read and published in full.

Product	Active ingredient	Strength	Best for	When to choose
Enrofloxacin 10% Oral Solution (1000 ml), this pack	Enrofloxacin	Declared 10%; confirm on the bottle	The gram-negative targets above	Directions not in English — for keepers working from a veterinary dose
Enrofloxacin 10% Oral Solution (1000 mL)	Enrofloxacin	100 mg per mL	The same targets	English label, published in full — our default recommendation
Enrofloxacin 10% Powder	Enrofloxacin	100 mg per gram	E. coli, Salmonella, Pasteurella, gram-negative infections	Flock or loft treatment through drinking water
Tylosin Powder	Tylosin tartrate	99% (990 mg per gram)	Mycoplasma, chronic respiratory disease, sinusitis	Respiratory signs where Mycoplasma is suspected
Doxycycline 20% Powder	Doxycycline	200 mg per gram	Psittacosis, Mycoplasma, bacterial respiratory infections	Suspected psittacosis
Doxy-Tyl Powder	Tylosin + doxycycline	40% + 20%	Mixed respiratory infections, Chlamydia + Mycoplasma	When both organisms may be involved
Vetafarm Trizole	Combination antiprotozoal	See pack	Canker, coccidiosis, giardia, hexamita	Protozoal problems, which antibiotics do not cover
Amoxicillin 10% Powder	Amoxicillin	10%	Susceptible bacterial infections	When a vet indicates a beta-lactam

Our recommendation: For most buyers we would point you at our Enrofloxacin 10% Oral Solution (1000 mL) rather than this one: same active, same strength, same size, and a label we have read and published. This pack makes sense if you specifically want this supplier’s bottle and you already have a dose from your veterinarian. Either way, get the diagnosis and the volume from a vet.

Signs of Recovery and When to Seek Veterinary Help

What Recovery Looks Like

A recovering bird is less fluffed up and more alert, eats and drinks normally, resumes its usual activity and vocalizing, passes normal droppings, and breathes quietly without tail bobbing or open-mouth breathing. Finish the course your veterinarian set even once the bird looks better.

When to Seek Professional Help

Seek immediate care after a cat bite or scratch, and prompt care for worsening breathing, open-mouth breathing, poor drinking or marked lethargy. Arrange reassessment if the bird does not improve on a confirmed plan. The Association of Avian Veterinarians (AAV) can help you find an avian vet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Enrofloxacin 10% Oral Solution for Birds (1000 ml)

These answers cover what the label states, what it does not, and where a veterinarian has to make the call.

What is this 1000 ml bottle?

An enrofloxacin 10% oral solution for birds, supplied by a different manufacturer from our own-brand bottle of the same size. Enrofloxacin is a bactericidal fluoroquinolone antibiotic, strongest against gram-negative bacteria.

Why does this page not give a dose?

The printed directions on this pack are not in English and are not legible in our product photography, and we will not transcribe a label we cannot read or copy figures across from a different manufacturer. Read the bottle you receive and take the dose from your veterinarian, who will calculate it from your bird’s weight.

How does it differ from your own-brand 1000 ml bottle?

Same active ingredient and same declared strength, different supplier and different packaging. Our own-brand pack carries an English label stating enrofloxacin 100 mg/ml, which we have published in full on its page. If you want the documented option, choose that one.

Which one should I buy?

Unless you specifically want this supplier’s bottle, we would suggest the Enrofloxacin 10% Oral Solution (1000 mL). It is the same active at the same strength in the same size, and you can read the label information before you order.

Is this the same as your Enrofloxacin 10% Powder?

The active ingredient is the same but the formulations are not interchangeable. The powder is 100 mg per GRAM and is mixed into drinking water; this is a liquid at 100 mg per MILLILITRE. Never carry a dose from one to the other.

What should I do if a cat bites or scratches my bird?

Get immediate avian veterinary care. Pasteurella from a cat’s mouth can cause sudden, severe illness, and the puncture wounds are often tiny and hidden under feathers. Do not wait to see whether symptoms develop.

Should I remove mineral blocks during treatment?

Yes. Calcium, magnesium and iron bind enrofloxacin and reduce absorption, so remove mineral blocks, cuttlebone, grit and mineral supplements during the course, and confirm the bird’s nutritional plan with your veterinarian.

Can this be used for chickens or other poultry?

No. US rules prohibit extra-label fluoroquinolone use in food-producing animals, and the label is for pet birds. That includes chickens, ducks, quail and turkeys kept for eggs or meat.

What if my bird will not take it?

Contact an avian veterinarian promptly. A bird that refuses a medication, or that is too unwell to swallow, needs a different route rather than a larger dose.

Do you ship this within the United States?

Yes. Orders placed before 5:00 PM ET are dispatched the same day, Sunday to Friday, and shipped tracked within the United States. Shipping is charged at checkout.

Conclusion

This 1000 ml bottle supplies enrofloxacin at a declared 10% strength for birds, from a different manufacturer to our own-brand pack. We have published what is declared and have deliberately not invented directions for a label we cannot read.

Get the diagnosis and the dose from an avian veterinarian, check the bottle on arrival, and never run two enrofloxacin products at the same time. If you would rather have the pack whose label we have documented, the Enrofloxacin 10% Oral Solution (1000 mL) is the same active at the same strength.
