Took my canary to vet on Friday for a respiratory problem. Vet found a fluid that kept building up on inside top beak. He thought this could be a sinus infection. Took culture found some bacteria in culture. Vet gave him a antibiotic shot and also treated him for air sac mites. He also gave me antibiotic in liquid form to treat him for 8 days. This all happened on Friday. On Saturday my canary seemed better however I could not get him to take the antibiotic on Saturday. On Sunday his breathing seemed fine. Later in the morning his breathing became very raspy again. At that time I was able to get the antibiotic in him. However, his condition has not improved and his breathing sounds even worse. He is open mouthed and very distressed. My question is, can i do anything else to help him? Pretty stressed at this point.
