Every held source for this drug and species, as printed. Where they differ, both are shown — the choice is yours, not ours.
The sources disagree for this combination. The ranges below do not overlap on a comparable route. This is not an error in one of them — published veterinary references differ, and reconciling them for a particular patient is a clinical judgement.

These ranges are per kg. Enter your green-cheeked conure's weight to get the precise dose and draw-up volume — unit and concentration math done for you.
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist causing sustained muscle contraction and paralysis in nematodes. Also has immunostimulant properties.
Narrow safety margin — toxicity causes cholinergic signs (salivation, tremors, dyspnea). TOXIC to dogs at high doses. Immunomodulatory use at low doses.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for green-cheeked conures may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Levamisole dose range in green-cheeked conures, with cited source references: PO 40 mg/kg once. Reference ranges from cited sources — verify against current literature before clinical use.
Documented routes for Levamisole in green-cheeked conures: PO.
Levamisole is indicated in green-cheeked conures for: Capillaria, intestinal strongyles, ascarids.
These are general warnings for Levamisole across species; consult the green-cheeked conure dosing table above for species-specific guidance. Narrow safety margin — toxicity causes cholinergic signs (salivation, tremors, dyspnea). TOXIC to dogs at high doses. Immunomodulatory use at low doses.
Why a species-specific page? Levamisole pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in green-cheeked conures — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
