Hello Dr. Rob. I told you last time my canary had sticky saliva coming from his mouth. My vet took a swab culture of his throat, and it came back with a bacteria called [PANTOEA] WHICH COMES FROM CONTAMINATED WATER,SEEDS, SOIL,FRUIT.HE GAVE ME 7 CAPSULESOF [DOXYCYCLINE] He said open the capsule and put it in the drinking water, for a week. today makes a week, and this morning there was still some sticky saliva. Should I get more antibiotics, or try something else. There was no THRUSH] present. He's also going thru a big molt, Will this have something to do with it, being his immune system is low. Please advise. thank you
