Tylan 50 has not been available anywhere to buy around me and has been on backorder for months and months. I have Tylan 200. I have been giving injection 0.2ml once a day. (Only 2 injections) But now I quit that and just putting Tylan soluble in her water instead. I seen her drink some water earlier. Mainly just eating good. I keep her outside but took her in to separate from others and to keep warm. She has pellets, 8 way scratch, and mealworms.In the video she looks good. Personally, if she's not showing any symptoms of respiratory disease or distress, then I wouldn't administer any more antibiotics.
Get some photos of her poop if you can.
Carol (@azygous ) is right, she may have been experiencing stridor since you mentioned that she was first gasping after eating/drinking. A bit of food stuck in the airway can cause distress.
IF you feel you need to continue with antibiotics - what are you giving? Is it Tylan50? What dosage?
Did you know that you can give injectable Tylan50 orally? I would go that route since Tylan50 needs to be given 3 times a day for 5 days - that many injections on such a small bird, I would worry about injection site necrosis.
Also, what are you feeding her? Does she have grit available? Is she drinking well?
Do you normally keep her inside or did you just bring her in for observation?
