I posted previously about my little one (Delilah) having what I thought were siezures/disorientation, as well as sneezing and gaping. Here's the original thread:

Now my 4 other girls are sneezing and gaping, and the older ones (5 weeks) are shaking their heads and rattling their beaks nearly constantly. When I listen to their breathing, it sounds like their nostrils or sinuses are crackling/clogged.
They've been on Duramycin since Wednesday for the sneezing and gaping (vet recommended it when she put Delilah on the oral antibiotic for what she thought was bacterial pneumonia)...and the gaping seems much less frequent, but the head shaking has me worried.
Does this mean the Duramycin isn't working, and if so, should I stop giving it to them? I know it's generally really bad to stop antibiotics before the full 14 days of treatment.
Delilah's hanging on, but is still exhibiting most of the same symptoms she started with, just less frequently. Yesterday she couldn't breathe through her nostrils and was opening her mouth to inhale...now she seems a little less congested.
What can I do?
I am getting my car back today, and will go to the store for vitamins/electrolytes, as this will be the first time I can get to them.
