  • Title: The nature and treatment of giardiasis in parakeets.
    Author: Scholtens RG, New JC, Johnson S.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1982 Jan 15; 180(2):170-3. PubMed ID: 7061316.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of giardiasis was studied in 77 parakeets from 4 widely varied sources and was found to be 66%. The infection appeared most common in young birds. Cysts and trophozoites were found in fecal samples and persisted in birds caged alone for up to 4 months, New infections appeared when infected and noninfected birds were caged together, Treatment with 200 ppm of dimetridazole in the drinking water was less effective than 3 oral doses given at the rate of 1.5 mg/30 g of body weight every 12 hours by stomach tube. Metronidazole therapy was not effective.
