We offer medication solutions tailored for bird species and exotic pet care requirements.

What is Avian Compounding?
Avian compounding is the process of preparing customised medicine and medication formulations specifically for birds, avian species or other exotic animals when standard products are unsuitable.
Because birds vary significantly in weight, metabolism, and physiology, many commercial medicine options intended for other animals, such as dogs, cats, or horses, are not suitable.
Through avian compounding at McKenzies Compounding Chemist:
- Medication can be adjusted in strength and dosage to suit the weight, condition, and species of the patient.
- Therapies can be prepared in easy-to-administer forms, including liquids that may be mixed with food or administered directly.
- Veterinarians can prescribe antibiotics or combination therapies not commercially available, ensuring accurate treatment outcomes.
Compounded avian medications may support respiratory, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, or behavioural conditions and may be administered short- or long-term.

Common Applications for Avian Compounding Medications
Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, and Systemic Conditions
Avian compounding allows precise dose modification for birds being treated for respiratory infections, gastrointestinal disease, liver disorders, and systemic illness, where accurate dosing based on species, weight, and metabolism is essential and commercial strengths are unsuitable.
Chronic Illness, Infection, and Nutritional Deficiencies
Birds managing long-term conditions, infections, or nutritional imbalances can be sensitive to taste and texture.
Compounded medications can be prepared in palatable forms to support consistent administration and improve treatment compliance during recovery.
Complex, Rare, or Post-Surgical Conditions
For complex avian cases such as fungal infections, parasitic disease, behavioural conditions, or post-surgical care, veterinarians may prescribe medications or combinations that are not commercially available.
Avian compounding ensures these therapies are prepared accurately and safely to support effective treatment outcomes.
