Hello! It's great that you're reaching out about your budgie's medication—it shows how much you care for your feathered friend. Enrofloxacin is an antibiotic often prescribed for birds to treat bacterial infections. It’s essential to give the correct dosage to avoid any potential side effects.
The most common concern with enrofloxacin in birds is the risk of organ damage if the dosage is too high. Always follow your vet's instructions to ensure the medication is effective and safe. Some signs that your budgie may be experiencing issues include lethargy, changes in appetite, diarrhea, or difficulty breathing. If you notice any of these, you should contact a vet promptly.
In the meantime, make sure your budgie is well-hydrated and has a quiet, stress-free environment. It's okay to provide a little extra warmth since unwell birds often need a bit more to stay comfortable.
Monitor for any changes in behavior or droppings, as these can be early indicators of health problems. If you're still unsure about the dosage or notice any worrying signs, it’s best to talk it over with a vet who can guide you through it.
Consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can have a chat about your budgie's health and medication needs. We'd be more than happy to help you out!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
