Prayers needed. They are all in the oxygen tent and meds are being changed again because nothing is working. Awaiting results of biopsy.

This is so horrible I am really sorry for your loss and I hope they can find out what is wrong to help the others. I wish the mills would get shut down and those people thrown in jail. :sadhug2:

From what I understand, breeders can do whatever they want and no law prevents this!

I am amazed..but cautiously optimistic...not only is the oxygen helping my new flock to relax..but I started the new meds today because the vet said Gaga was showing great improvement before she suddenly died. She had probably had the disease so long she just could not handle the sudden energy. Tonight I can say..at least tonight..that my new birds are starting to show improvement in their breathing. In fact the two who were just starting to show symptoms.. have no symptoms. I cannot imagine this quick of a response but i have hope for the first time since Gaga died.

Is this the breeder? She is listed as the owner of the aviary on FB.
I never saw her. We talked on the phone many times before I decided on the birds I wanted. If I ever buy anymore English Budgies, I will drive or fly there as I did the first time I bought a cockatiel from a lady in Virginia. I think I mentioned her name before. Pam Sysinger.

I forgot to mention that Gaga was on her third medication try...Clavamox and Itraconazole ..which were helping when nothing else did. So my others are now on the same, as the Baytril and Doxycycline were useless. Poor Gaga ran out of time trying whatever the vet could try to help her. I hope this time we are not too late since they caught it from her I suppose being in the same cage. The breeder put them all together in the same cage a week before she sent them to get them used to each other. Made sense back then. Now I think it only served to get them all sick. My cockatiel she sent keeps his feathers fluffed but no signs of respiratory disease. So we are treating him as well.

So sorry about what is going on with all of the birds. I hope they can determine what is causing the illness and determine the correct treatment.
