Should I withhold grit cause he's eating very little

I would not give him anything but chick starter, flock raiser or Mazuri Waterfowl. No grains, no grit.

Ok sorry it was 2 pills twice a day doing this from phone numbers are smaller meant to hit 2 he's picking at his bowl right now he's dropping it in his dish and making a slurry on the bottom don't know if he's truly eating it but it's sure nice to hear food bowl activity

Purina flock raiser crumbles I figured that would fatten him up 20% protein im with holding vitamins and ultra kibble

Ok so this morning he looks more alert don't know if it's energy from sleeping or from baytril working gonna give him his other 2 pills at noon his eyes went from looking shot on sulfa to looking at me normal i.e alert eyes now it's the waiting game and thank you carsport pony that link to the baytril on peacock eye helped my friend too her india blues has the same condition so she went to get some liquid baytril from the vet she's like a mom to me and who taught me about birds so thank you all and like I said words cannot describe how thankful I am

The reason i posted the sinus link was so you could see just how fast Baytril can work. You're probably dealing with an intestinal infection, so you might not see results that quickly, but you sure could since Baytril works very fast.

So I'm confused, how many times a day did the vet say to give the Baytril, and how many pills did she say to give?

Regarding the liquid Baytril, for those that can't get it from a vet, you can get it online without a prescription:

Doesn't matter if the Baytril is generic or or brand name, pill or liquid, any of them will work on most bacteria, but it is banned for use in poultry to be used for meat and eggs, so that should be taken into consideration before using it.

Okay, two pills twice a day is more like what my vets have had me use. Good sign that he's showing an interest in food.
