Some further news: although OURBIRD was improving daily his molt moved to his head and breathing difficulties resumed with us fearing we may lose him the night before last. Chatted to our vet and he suggested that the success of the Itraconazole means spores lining airway and making it difficult for him. Clouds of something coming from his nares when he sneezed may not have been dander but spores? He wasn't sneezing the night before last but sneezed frequently last night.
Yesterday was a hard day with continious difficulty all day. We increased his nutrients and I had three rests of more than an hour with him in our darkened bedroom. This seems to have aided his survival. We normally feed pellets as his staple but we fed sunflower seeds and cashew nuts (along with other foods he loves but shouldn't have too much of) to give him the energy to cope between the rests.
Today he seems better with occasional breathing difficulties but mostly after exercise. We lift him to where he wants to go and am about to have another good rest with him.
Maybe something of help in this for others with similar problems.
