Avian Benadryl Solution
Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp Diphenhydramine HCl 12.5mg/5mL (This is usually the children's liquid Benadryl)
- 8 oz water
Directions
Mix well and serve to the bird as the sole water source.

However, this is not a long term solution and should not be followed for more than 1 month unless instructed by an avian vet.Follow our blog to read more articles about natural ways to heal dry skin in parrots.
