Thanks for reaching out and sorry about your problems. Yeast infections are commonly secondary problems. Checking environmental temperature, nutrition is essential. A necropsy is recommended as some viral etiologies need to be ruled in/out, such as polyoma virus, PBFD. If they have bacterial abnormal flora, antibiotics should be judiciously utilized to target these problems. Good luck.
