Do you plan on treating the bird for Blackhead (histomaniasis) between worming? Dosage for Metronidazole (Flagyl, Fish-Zole, etc.) is 250 mg once a day for 5 days. If the bird is under 5 lbs, use 125mg.
If that isn't successful, I'd wait a few days while giving the bird vitamins-electrolytes, and probiotics in the water. Then I'd treat the bird for enteritis. If the bird is drinking on its own, I use equal parts Neomycin and Bacitricin powder mixed together in a jar. I take one heaping teaspoon per gallon of water and give a fresh solution each day for 7-10 days. If you don't see improvement by the 3rd day of doing this, it is time to try something else. Treatment becomes more difficult when birds stop eating or drinking on their own.
