No, she won't "overdose" at all. We're talking about Antibiotic and Anti-Fungal medications, where if your bird doesn't get the entire dose they aren't going to work to treat the infections...And when we're giving a dose that is actually only "1 drop" or "2 drops", and you're giving it to them directly into their mouth (as you should), it's very likely that they aren't actually ingesting/swallowing/absorbing the entire dose. So if you see your bird "spit out" any of that small amount of medication, or "shake her head" and have any of it come out of her beak, I would absolutely give another drop, because this is a situation where getting the entire dose is crucial to successful treatment and elimination of the infections, and where the possibility of your bird getting a bit higher dose of the medication has no ill-effects at all...Now if we were talking about a Narcotic pain medication, a tranquilizer, a sedation med, etc., then you can't risk doing that because they can overdose, so in those situations less is better...but not with antibiotics and anti-fungals...

I'll make sure that she doesn't get any less amount of it

We stopped probiotic today to start Nutrolin-B! It's in powdered form, we mixed boiled and cooled water in the bottle to make it a syrup! How should mediations be stored if label says store below 25*C and avoid moisture. Winter here and I wanna avoid putting it in refrigerator because that may result in some moisture!!
