Oxine

Oxine is great but as per a distributer of oxine, it's not "Oxine" until it's been activated. If not activated, it does not do much of anything. Even in the horse industry, the proper way to soak a hoof is to activate "white lightning" with citric acid- which is oxine, use a bag to hold the fumes in.
It was many years ago as a respiratory treatment, but I have not read any mention of whether it was activated or not. But the fumes are what's wanted.
Oxine is great if used the right way. Otherwise I myself will take soap and water over unactivated oxine. ME, I'm glad you posted this!

Ive been reading that it can be used in water with no citric to activate it. Im following the instructions of an 1/8 teaspoon in a gallon of water every other day for maintenance. It did perk.up the sick bredas and it makes everyone drink more due to the flavor of it. The sick ones were not drinking , then i added the oxine to the water and dipped their beaks in and they are now drinking and trying to eat

I do hope it works for you. I am a faithful user of Virkon.
