Amovet

Amovet is UNAHCO’s Amoxicillin powder, sold under the Thunderbird brand line.

What Is Actually In It

UNAHCO’s page states Amovet is 20% Amoxicillin, given as a percentage rather than a per-gram or per-milliliter weight. Amoxicillin is a penicillin-class antibiotic. That 20% figure is transcribed exactly as UNAHCO states it, with no conversion to a different unit.

What the Label Says It Is For

UNAHCO’s label states Amovet is for prevention and treatment of infections caused by Amoxicillin-sensitive organisms, and separately states it is effective in treating sinusitis and chronic respiratory disease (CRD) in gamefowl. That is the manufacturer’s own claim, reproduced above.

Forms It Comes In

Amovet is sold as a water-soluble powder. UNAHCO’s dosage of half a teaspoon per gallon of water, given twice a day for 3 to 5 days, is quoted verbatim in the box above; this body text does not repeat, convert, or adjust that figure.

Withdrawal Period

UNAHCO does not publish a withdrawal period for Amovet. Absence of a published figure is not the same as a zero-day withdrawal, and it is not treated as one here.

What This Page Does Not Tell You

This page transcribes what UNAHCO publishes about Amovet. It does not tell a reader whether a bird’s symptoms match sinusitis, CRD, or a different condition; CRD in particular can overlap in presentation with several other respiratory diseases. Take the bird’s symptoms to a veterinarian, an agrivet, or the local agriculture office before deciding on treatment.
