I did the apply directly to bird for 5 days method. I'm hoping she continues to improve. I really want to pair her to my other BC once she's better!!!

does it normally take a while to clear?

Usually the symptoms of ASM clears within 24 hours of treatment, if not you need to concider a respiratory infection

Hmm ok. He berthing is better but she's still mildly fluffed and is clicking but not all the time and if I catch her and hold to my ear there is never any clicking. I'm kinda confused.

I have a video. I just uploaded it to photo bucket and will post the link once it's done processing. I've read the articles at lady gouldian but not sure what she could have if it is respiratory. This is a whole new ball game for me. I've never had a sick bird before.

Olympic_Aiairies You can call Laraine at ladygouldian. She's very helpful and has great insight. Maybe there's something she can tell you or you can purchase that will help. I hope you find the solution. Just make sure she has a heat source so she can conserve her heat if she's fluffed up. Just want to be sure there's not a respiratory infection going on. It's a possibility she needs antibiotics or something else. https://ladygouldian.com/

Corkysgirl I tried talking to her and she just told me to read the articles. Which I'd already done twice.
