Sick Bird?

Hey, I have a bird that seems like she is sneezing??? She only does it near night time and through the night. Not a ton, but every now and then. What can I do for her? She is already under heat and being fed a very great diet.

Advice would help a lot!

Thanks

What kind of finch is she? Could be air sac mites?

Sneezing could also be a sign of a respiratory infection as well. Any other symptoms other than sneezing?

Sounds like an upper respiratory infection to me.

You can try an antibiotic like amtyl in her water for a few days. I have some at the house if you need some.

Thanks everyone... I stuck her in a hospital cage and put some antibiotics in her water with a heat lamp. We'll see how she does...
