My senior budgie has pneumonia and isn't recovering. What can I do?

Question

It has been almost a month, my Budgie was diagnosed with pneumonia, last week her legs started to give out, and a few days after that her neck started twisting sorta like a stroke. Her neck remained twisted for a few hours then she fully recovered. She eat sand drinks on her own, the problem is that she's still sick, I had her on 14 days antibiotics, and nebulization. What else can I do? My vet said there's really nothing else to do because my bird is 11 years old. Any suggestions? Thanks. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | unspayed | 10 years and 7 months old

it sounds like you are already working with your vet to do everything possible for Yellow. If she's having trouble getting around at all, switching out regular perches with flat shelf perches or perches kept low to the ground, and adding in shallow dishes for food and water that are easy to get in and out of may help her get around easier and keep her eating and drinking. if she continues to worsen, bringing her back to the vet for palliative care may be helpful in making her more comfortable.
