no she is not wheezing anymore. I think from her walking backwards with her head down she might have gotten it in the waterer and got water in her lungs. She was wheezing and sneezing and she did get the water out cause it was on the towel LOL The only antibiotic I have is baytril right now cause the tylan 200 went out dated and I haven't replaced it yet. Should I give her a shot of it or add to her mixture and how much?

If she were mine here's what I would do
if she's not wheezing I would hold off on the baytril.. but check her about twice a day to see if she develops any symptoms of a cold or infection.. at first sign of wheezing or infection I would go ahead and dose her (I'm not sure of the dose off the top of my head..but it should be easy enough to find )

for now I would concentrate on the B vitamins.. and continue dosing her for at least a week even if she has gone back to normal by that time,, if she's not improving any in about two days then I would try the antibiotics.

if all else fails you could run her to the vet and see what they say... but I have no idea if you even have an avian vet in your area...

i'll check around and see if I can find out any thing else that might help

vitamin e and selenium
oil base injectable.. used for crooked neck and humpback 0.25 ml - repeat in 3 weeks (as per Janice Castleberry)

Thanks for the info

gonna order some cause handy to have on hand. Right now my mixture is working. She is standing more and holding her head up longer. I did give her .15cc of baytril just in case. She is still very tiny and not even a pound yet. I put it in water and tube fed it to her. When she gets tired her head goes under her. It is still so sad to watch.

All you can do is keep on trying..hopefully everything makes a difference.

Please keep us updated... and just remember to keep on dosing her for a few days even after she seems like she's over it


i think I would give her a preventative dose of the vitamins two or three a week thereafter for a while just to help prevent a relapse
