Hi there, has anybody had any experience of Staphylococcus in budgies? i saw this post on another site and the poor wee soul is really struggling:

 

My friends, Sakis is getting worst. Tomorrow it will be 15 days since he started to breath like this. In the middle of last week he started to be better, but suddenly Sunday his health seemed to go down again.. He's breathing with difficulty, he opens his mouth and he sneezes loudly. He eats and he drinks water, but he doesn't talk (I don't mind about this, I prefer to see him healthy again than to hear him talking).

Doctor listened to its heart, it's okay and also his lungs seem okay.. I can't understand what's this. The spittle test showed staphylococcus and it's in the area of throat, that's where he seems to have the whole problem.. But I really don't know what else can I do.. I am so dissapointed.. I cry all the time but I do it in my room, becase I don't want him to understand that I am sad. I try to seem happy to him, because I'm sure that he feels everything we feel.

And why staphylococcus, after 15 days of antibiotics doesn't go away? Why he has to be tortured like that?

Please, if you have any idea about the situation and if there's something more I can do, please let me know.

 

They have tried baytril and vibramycin but they haven't worked - anybody got any suggestions?

 

thanks
