Oxy-Rid

Oxy-Rid is Excellence’s eye-drop dewormer, sold specifically against eyeworm infestation in gamefowl.

What Is Actually In It

Excellence’s page names one active ingredient: Tetrahydro Phenyl Imidazo Thiazole. No amount per milliliter or per bottle is stated on the manufacturer’s page, so none is reproduced here beyond the ingredient name itself.

What the Label Says It Is For

Excellence states Oxy-Rid is “effective against eyeworm (Oxyspirura mansoni) infestation in gamefowls” and describes it as “fast acting,” claiming it “expels eyeworm within 2 minutes.” Those speed and efficacy claims are the manufacturer’s own wording, quoted here rather than adopted as this page’s assessment. See our deworming guide for general background on internal and external parasites in gamefowl.

Forms It Comes In

Excellence sells Oxy-Rid as a liquid eye drop, in a 5 mL bottle.

Withdrawal Period

Excellence does not publish a withdrawal period for Oxy-Rid. The absence of a published figure does not mean there is no withdrawal period; it means the manufacturer has not stated one. Confirm timing with a veterinarian or agrivet before slaughter or egg use if the product has been used close to either.

What This Page Does Not Tell You

This page transcribes what Excellence publishes about Oxy-Rid. It does not verify the manufacturer’s two-minute expulsion claim, and it does not tell a reader whether a bird’s eye symptoms are actually eyeworm rather than another condition affecting the eye. Bring your bird to a veterinarian, an agrivet, or the local agriculture office for confirmation before treating.
