Sorry to say he did not make it. On another note my female in the cage next to him started showing the same symptoms. now my antibiotics had showed up so I gave it to her and after two days she perked right up, and Is alive and doing very well thank you so much for the info.

So sorry you lost him. It is a right pity that our birds are so fragile and also only really show us their ailments when they are near to the end.
You tried what you could.

Happy though that you could help your hen.

Why not give mixed antibiotic called tetrakilon forte?
Try not to add vitamin d3 to the mix from now on. Eggs already contain vitamin d3 make sure he has a daylight lamp 5000-6500k full spectrum. This will aid in vitamin absorption from the food he eats.

Mix crushed nigella sativa into the seed mix from now on. It's a natural herb seed that prevents lots of diseases and cleanses the system from toxins. Use it a preventative food supplement.
