HEALTH

One of my canaries just passed away and symptoms were: 1 week listless, puffed up, tail bobbing, no singing, and constipation. The bird would eat and drink some. She died gasping for breath as fluid came out of her nose and mouth. Upon examination of her mouth I was looking for mites, but pressed her chest and lots of clear fluid came out of her nose and mouth. Could this be air sac mites, (or maybe psittacosis)? I ordered S76 to treat my aviary for mites unless you suggest something else. Thanks!
