Can birds take cephalexin

Answer 1

Apparently pet birds can and do take cephalexin. I have an adult male cockatiel, "Billy," who has an upper respiratory illness, and I just bought this at his pet store. I googled it and see that it comes in tablet form for humans as well; however strict guidelines for dosage and duration must be followed depending on the weight and species (bird, dog, cat, etc). This treats a muriad of bacterial and respiratory infections in humans and animals, so I hope it works for Billy as there is not a single avian vet where I live. Hope this helps...
