Is the bird a youngster, chances are that if it's started to look thin and not being itself the damage is probably already done I'm sorry to say,Ajw132 wrote: ↑06 Jun 2017, 10:09 Hi just after some advice I have a skinny gouldian breast bone showing and fluffy I have isolated it.

As a precaution I'd normally administer a sulphur drug such as Baycox from the age of 5 weeks old
If any birds are not on this treatment from an early age once fledged they can then start to go down hill and it's very rare that any will be saved as coccidiosis is a waisting disease that needs to be prevented rather than cured,
My only suggestion is to place in a hospital cage as Vettepilot_6 has stated and just hope for the best
Be lucky

If alive and well after treatment, a couple of days on spark to perk her up is recommended.

I've also used Spark in the past, the birdcare company uk I believe does it from memory and is good stufffinchbreeder wrote: ↑07 Jun 2017, 10:36 If alive and well after treatment, a couple of days on spark to perk her up is recommended.
