MY MALE CANARY HAS BEEN EATING AND SLEEPING FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKE NOW. I PUT HIM ON TETRACYCLINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THAT DIDNT WORK, SO I TOOK HIM TO THE VET WHO PUT HIM ON ORNACYN-PLUS, THAT WAS ON JAN 27, HE STILL SEEMS TO BE EATING WELL BUT IS STILL FLUFFED UP AND IS STILL SLEEPING A LOT. HE WILL BE 5 YRS. OLD THIS YEAR. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE

Was this an avian vet? Did he run any tests? I would find an avian certified vet and get a second oppinion. Make sure they know about the medications since this will mask an illness if the antibiotic isn't strong enough to kill the germ.

I LIVE IN UPER MICHIGAN JUST SOUTH OF TRAVERSE CITY, AND THE ONLY VET I COULD FIND THAT WILL TREAT CANARIES WORKED OUT OF PET SMART, IVE TALKED TO OTHERS WHO SAY , HE IS A GOOD VET,THEY TELL ME TO KEEP MY CANARY ON THE MED. FOR 14 DAYS. AND CALL IF THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT. THE VET DID TEST THE BIRDS FECES UNDER A MIKCROCOPE, LOOKED IN HIS MOUTH,LISTENED TO HIS HEART AND SAID EVERTHING LOOKED OK, HIS BREATHING WAS LABORED, I THINK THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH HIS LUNGS ,AND IAM SURE THAT IS PROBABLY WHAT THE VET THINKS, BUT I COULD BE WRONG

Here is a list of the avian vets in MI. I'm not quite sure where you live, but I don't think the first two are a long ways from you. You can do the search yourself at http://aav.org/search/index.php
