Urgent I think my finch has ataxia

[Cavemanboo]

I woke up this morning to find the baby finch was stumbling around the cage and was standing with his legs spread for balance and breathing heavy. After some research i thought maybe he has ataxia as they are all symptoms. Just wondering if there is anything i can do now to save them. Also was wondering if it can be a genetic problem as the other babies they had also were stumbling around before they died. Thanks

This can be from so many different health issues, bacteria, yeast, parasite, viral, nutritional, temp
Need to see an avian veterinarian to determine cause and provide treatment.
Stop breeding all pairs until a cause has been determined and addressed
