You can use it in stressful situations such as heat stress (caused by high temperatures), showing, transportation, or relocation. Or when your bird is prone to dehydration from illness, injury, or high energy expenditure. Vitalize is easy to use. Dissolve 1tsp. into 8oz. of water and use it as the only source of bird water during stressful times. To extend shelf life, keep the container closed before and after use and store it in a cool, dry place.
