Cankerex Plus: Dimetridazole and Thiamine Powder for Pigeon Trichomoniasis 50g

Cankerex Plus is a specialized, water-soluble veterinary powder formulated for the efficient treatment of Trichomoniasis (commonly referred to as Crop Canker or Frounce) in pigeons and certain cage birds. This product is designed for flock administration via drinking water.

Formulation and Function:

• Active Ingredient: Contains Dimetridazole ($\text{40\% m/m}$), a potent antiprotozoal agent effective against Trichomonas gallinae.

• Reduced Toxicity Profile: The formulation includes the addition of Thiamine ($\text{1\% m/m}$, Vitamin $\text{B}1$), which is specifically included to mitigate potential neurotoxic side effects historically associated with Dimetridazole, particularly in high doses or warm conditions.

• Targeted Efficacy: This combination supports effective therapy against the protozoan pathogen while maintaining a lower toxicity level, enabling a potent dosage regimen.

• Short Treatment Course: The product is noted for its ability to achieve high efficacy (up to $\text{95\%}$) against Canker with a condensed treatment period (as short as $\text{3}$ days in some protocols), minimizing the duration of medication exposure for the flock.

Administration and Application:

Cankerex Plus is an easily dosed powder to be dissolved in the birds' drinking water. It is used for both preventative measures and therapeutic treatment of active Canker infections.

• Flock Treatment: The water-soluble nature makes it suitable for simultaneous treatment of the entire flock.

• Caution: Due to potential variations in water consumption, especially in high-temperature environments, the specified dosage instructions must be strictly followed. The product is typically not recommended for use while birds are feeding young.
