Ada, asking a question such as this is NOT the best thing to
do on a bird board.
You will get MANY opinions and probably most of them will not
be correct.
If you took your bird to the vet and he prescribed an
antibiotic for him, a phone call to this same vet will get
you a more constructive answer than you will get here.
Didn't this vet want to have a follow up to do another
culture to make sure the bird was indeed free of E-coli after
treatment?
