sorry mate get them [the droppings] checked ,there is no way on gods green earth, that anyone can tell you on here just by posting about it,if you are losing birds that fast get to the vets

If you want to try to save it then isolate it, then day 1)appertex tab day2) spartrix tab day 3) leave alone just small seed and water for 2 hours day 4) put in small seed or water and if not interested then B.I.N.

 

Me personally i'd just go to step 4!

main thing to do is feed light eg depurative and seperate any that isnt looking good dont let them out to fly will only stress them firther if there not right get the droppings checked asap because you can be grasping at straws as to what people say it is on here it could be any number of things mate and as mickb says up there bin anything thats bad dont take no chances have had bad experiences myself with youngings ... good luck mate hope this helps

Dont spend money on a vet  put the bird out its misery before it spreads to the rest.  8)

Birds need to be healthy before you vaccinate them.

 

Surely there's a good avian vet in the area? If your local vet can't treat the bird, he should be able to put you on to one who can.

 

It is serious sh*t when birds die and  I'm personally out of my depth at that stage, and its a holding job only till you can get a professional in: basically you need something in the water to help stop spread (cider vinegar 5ml per litre of water, or  garlic bulb peeled & crushed) Watch out for vomited grain, get that picked up before anything else has a chance to eat it - that's a method of spread too. Cull the worst affected, and isolate others that look sick / off-colour. Withdraw food for a day, then start them on the second day with light feed - small seed, or smalls from a mixture, anything easily digested, until the droppings start to form up again, when you can add (gradually) beans, peas etc..

your normal vet should know if there is a local avian vet or look on the DEFRA web site for a local approved one.
