Hey Everyone Quick update on waldo. After a week of baytril antibiotics orally, Fluzol human anti fungal medicine also orally and nebulizing with f10 there was no improvement, infact at night he sometimes made these gasping noises and had obvious breathing problems as well as getting increasingly hoarse and croacky. On Saturday we took him back to our vet who applied a different antibiotic but by injection into his breast. With in an hour or 2 his voice had returned and he's doing great. I swear he's louder than he was. Im not sure if there was something lodged in his throat or this mojo in the syringe worked a miracle but he seems to be absolutly fine. I will find out what the second antibio was and post here soon so people in similar situations can inquire at their vet.

Hi everyone thanks for all the supportive replies to my frantic first post. My names Ian and my wife Ingrid and I live on the eastcoast of south africa south of Durban in a small town called Margate and we have a 6 year old grey called waldo. We got him from a breeder because he was ill and we had previously done rehabilitation on wild birds successfully. Waldo had severe aspergillus which we treated by nebulizing him 6 times a day for 6 months. Because of this his heart is enlarged and he has scarring on his lungs. We doubt he will live to a ripe old age but he's lucky to be alive. So everyday is a blessing and we love him dearly. We are happy to have found such a supportive community online! Thanks for the well wishes!

Hi Jay I got waldo to a vet and he fears it could be a fungal infection. We will nebulize him with f10 and give him a course of antibios. He seems better already though but im not taking any chances. He is eating and singing and chatting away but he sounds a bit hoarse. Thanks for replying so quickly.

I'm writing from south africa and its 5 in the morning. My Grey, waldo, started making these soft squecking noises during the night and his breathing is audible. Whats going on ! Help Anyone
