HELP please!! Urgent! Emergency at 12am!

I would ask the vet about what an appropriate diet for an anemic bird is. There are plenty of bird-friendly, iron rich foods out there. I'm sure the vet could guide you on safe amounts to feed if he needs more of those foods than other birds:)

And I would have him screened for PBFD. With vomiting, anemia, lack of energy, some beak overgrowth issues...that would be the first disease I would want to rule out immediately!
 
The anemia itself could cause that...

I just don't know enough about these guys to give you any good advice on species specific dietary things that might help...
 
He is on lots of healthy foods so I just don't get it. I just got the results of his fecal test and they came back negative. So no mites/parasites. This is a mystery. I don't know what more to do. If this medicine doesn't help I don't know what the next step would be.

Now I'm up to $750 in bills and no answers or cures. I really am at a loss of words.

Are you comfortable with the the vet and level of expertise? You may wish to consider a second opinion; it may be possible for the primary DVM to forward the lab tests to another office. OTOH another vet may wish to rerun the tests, particularly if they were originally performed in-house as opposed to a lab.
