And just an FYI
http://ladygouldian.com/Respiratory-Infections-in-Birds

Nystatin or Medistatin (a powdered form of Nystatin) would be the drug of choice if your bird has a fungal infection at any point along it’s digestive tract (ingested form), but Nystatin does not cross into the blood stream from the digestive tract, so because it cannot come into direct contact with the fungal organisms in a bird’s respiratory tract, it will not cure a fungal respiratory infection.

Fungilin® used to be given for respiratory fungal infections, but it is no longer available from Squibb. Fungilin® contained Amphotericin-B. Vetafarm, an Australian company, produces a water-soluble yellow Amphotericin-B based powder called Megabac-S. You can sometimes find it on-line or it may be purchased directly from Vetafarm as long as you do not live in Australia. It is a very pricey medication.


Megabac-S, they aren't kidding when they say expensive:
