All my other birds are healthy. This bird has been ill for several days. Has been stumbling as seen in posted video,makes low noises,eats and drinks with treatment of amprol and apple cider vinegar,with little or no improvement. Also just noticed bird cannot breath out nose,will correct that part best of my ability as soon as I am done posting this.no sign of nasal discharge or blockage.

I have a similar issue with one of my 3 mth old poults. I had a post gaping & stumbling. Some folks gave some good feed back. Check it out. So here is some info I gotfrom an avian vet I took him to yesterday. The antibiotics I got from feed store worthless (for my guy just way too sick) I now have sulfa tabs. I had been making a mash of game bird starter& antibiotics and spoon feeding. He has since stopped eating just too weak. Vet suggested frozen peas, frozen corn, prune juice or apple juice. She said get lots of calories into the bird. The frozen veggies are proving to feed easy,I just put em to the back of his tongue and he'll swallow. Tube feeding was also suggested by the vet.I am not experienced in it though. There is an excellent posting on here for that. My guy diagnosis is pneumonia and outlook not good. I hope this helps u some.
 
Frozen seem to go down the best. I got some frozen edema (soy beans) too. My guy is still extremely weak but still alive so will keep y trying.
