Help! Sick peachicks

[Rottie6868]

Hi born 7/14, My babies are even worse today gasping for air. I am giving them 10mg of Tylo-Doxy (1/2pill dissolved in water and under the tongue) they are very respiratory shaking head opening mouth and I can hear it when they try to breathe. I began med yesterday. Pigeon bottle says once per day, is this incorrect? On hand this is all I have along with 500mg of Cipro pills but I would not even begin to know how to break that down.
Should I take them away from mom and put under heat lamp? They seem to stress more when I take them to med and so I am worried about taking from mom. I do also possibly see mites on them
Please help these are my last 2 babies

Is a vet an option? If it is, get them to a vet ASAP. If a vet is not an option, do you have a food scale to weigh them on. If not, can you go buy a good scale?

Let me see if I have a scale. I have been comparing them to cockatiel size. aviary vets are open today and honestly I do not think they would survive the 2 hour drive

You need to weigh them, then they need to be given medication based on that weigh.

They are about 4 ounces each. I do not see mucus in their mouth but they gasp for every breath. Should I administer 5cc safeguard goat wormer orally along with the 10mg of tylo-dox? Do you feel that is the correct dosing for each bird. They are stressed. I don’t think they will make it to morning and a 2 hour ride to the vet. Please help me I already lost one of the 3 and only have 2 left

Can you go buy a food scale right now?

No, do not give any de-wormer.

 

[Rottie6868]

No, do not give any de-wormer.

Thank you I won’t! I do not feel like they are getting better. I do not see mucus in their mouth yet they still gasp for each breath

If you can go get a scale and weigh them I can make a suggestion on how much cipro you can give.

Wal-Mart and Target both sell food scales.
