last night I heard doofy sneezing, she always sneezes some and she's been getting meds for a respitory infection, but last night it was a lot of sneezing to the point I went to check on her. I found her climbing back up on the perch from the bottom of the cage. She had her beak open panting hard. She would stretch her neck, sneeze, pant etc. I was sure she was dying and she may well have been except my husband's quick thinking. He put her in a shoe box with holes in it, put that inside a garbage bag and then opened a can of O2 to fill the bag up. Between the O2 or the excessive humidity in the shed and heat, Doofy quit panting. I was with her for hours after afraid to put her back in her cage in case she had this attack again. She's fine today, acts totally normal. She has great appetite, poop looks normal. She's been on cipro and it hasn't made a difference to her. Could this be airsac mites? Of course it's a weekend and vets are closed.

What does this sound like?
 
I have no clue what it is, but I would try to find an emergency vet if I were you, even though she seems better now. Sorry I'm not much help...
