Prayers for my little one

My budgie Nike is not doing well. She had seizure like symptoms...along with wheezing & itchiness. I took her to vet & he prescribed some antibiotics and vitamins.

However, Nike has been acting dull today. She didn't eat anything today & she didn't chirp nor did she play. I don't know what to do at this point- the vet has done his bit.

I am praying that she heals soon & I want you all to pray for her. I lost twix this year, I cannot lose Nike. Pls pray

Nike is yellow in color.

I'm sorry your budgie Nike hasn't been feeling well. :(
Have you tried feeding her some spray millet? Usually sick and convalescent budgies will easily eat it. You can also try some egg food, this soft food is very nutritious and can also be helpful and give your Nike a much needed energy boost.
If she is not accepting any food, you may need to try hand feeding her some formula for baby birds, you can do so via syringe or spoon. If all fails then you will have to go back to the avian vet's for Nike to be crop fed.

I'm sending you and your beautiful budgie girl my best wishes for a steady and full recovery.
Hopefully soon your Nike will begin to respond positively to the medication.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and Nike at this very difficult time. :pray:
The flock of 14 and I are all rooting for your girl to be back to full health.

For now you can try offering spray millet and see if she is able to crack open the seed and eat it. Pay close attention to her beak functions when she is eating and see if they are normal. It would also be a good idea to check her general body mobility.
I have recently had a pet bird to suffer a stroke and his beak was partially paralysed and with proper medication and physical therapy he managed to pull through.
If your Nike is really having multiple seizures, she needs to be seen again by the vet right away and have the proper medication to address this issue. General antibiotics will not cure this. And with each seizure your Nike runs the risk of getting weaker.
