JMHO, it might but I would wait until Sarah or Mary Lynn answer too. they have macaws and I don't. my macaw buddies think I am their waitress and the walking tree at the clinic. LOL I got crawled all over last Saturday. silly birds like to ride the vacuum cleaner while you vacuum.

DMG: A Nutrient for the New Millennium

Each drop contains 5 mg of DMG.

According to the label dosing, the dosage for birds is: 1 drop per 100 grams body weight. This is given BID as a loading dose, for two weeks, then once a day. The liquid may also be used for dogs and cats:

For animals:
up to 25 lbs: give 0.5 ml daily

I have found that one drop of liquid equals .01 cc. Just fill a syringe with water to a mark on the syringe and drop out 10 drops and you will have you measurement.

As Sarah says there is a front loading period of two weeks where you give your bird .5cc once a day, then drop back down to the 10 drops per day. Yes you can mix it in with the formula - if he takes the whole thing.

DMG is very non-toxic so don't worry about overdosing - but don't be sloppy about the dose either.

We are so proud of you and Vader - he's a beautiful, healthy GW and all because you sought help when you thought you needed it. Joey is a cutie too, if he would stay off of roofs.

Whew! Bet you're glad that's over... Hopefully an residual paranoia will release it's hold on you as well!
