Why isn't my bird's airway infection getting better with antibiotics?

Question

My grey has been diagnosed with airway infection. She has been given the two different antibiotics (Doxybiotics and the water based one) After a month she is not better. The tail-bobbing has increased her respiratory rate, and labored breathing (even at rest) has worsened. She's not eating well either and is increasingly weak. What must I do? The vet keeps giving antibiotics. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

I would have expect it to get better on these antibiotics, in that case there is a very good chance that it's a fungal infection rather than a bacterial infection, you need to take her back to the vet ASAP and ask him to try an anti fungal treatment.
