I have a male Gouldian who puffed up a couple of weeks ago he keeps his head under his wing, he was taking care of three young birds so I waited about a week before I separated him from the main population I put a drop of Scatt on the back of his neck and put him in a small cage with a light over it the room that he is in remains at a constant 90 degrees. He looked better after a week and then he took a turn for the worse now he is on the bottom of the cage most the time and he is not eating very much. I have been giving him daily essentials 1 and Saniclens in his water for a week and he gets energize on his seed that is mixed with a little feast and eggfood he has ground cuttle bone F-vite and herbs in his cage he is breathing rapidly and he was shaking a little. What can I do or should stop doing to help him.
