Welcome to BYC! Glad you joined the flock! I would try posting this in the Emergency/Disease/Injury forum to get more help. I believe with New Castle disease that when a bird tests positive they are suppose to be culled. Being a vet it should have been reported if he administered tests to determine it. Antibiotics won't kill the virus it just prevents it from reproducing. With viruses you have to let them run their course and do your best to try and keep the bird healthy and alive. You may want to post pictures here and at the Emergency/Disease/Injury forum to get the most help.

Hi and welcome to BYC. I agree with Birdbrain - viruses just have to run their course. You will get more feedback once you have posted in the section highlighted by Birdbrain.

All the best

No need to apologise - we all do it and you still got some responses, so nothing to worry about. I hope that all goes well.
