It's wonderful that you have had him for 11 years. Are you giving the meds directly into the mouth or are they in the water? When meds are in the water you can never be sure that the bird is actually ingesting enough to be effective in the treatment of a bacterial or fungal infection. One of my birds recently had a crop/ GI tract infection, the first 2 antibiotics were just not helping much so the vet did a culture to determine which antibiotic would be most effective against the particular bacteria, once we switched to a third antibiotic as indicated by the culture he began to improve, so sometimes meds have to be changed around until you get the most effective one.
