Galah has fungus on foot and is listless and not perky

I have a galah that is just under a year old. It was a bird rescue galah after being hit by a car. She used to eat sunflower seeds as treats and crack them open without a problem. Now she can't crack them open and even the seed itself i have to break into 3 little pieces for her to eat them.

She has a fungus on her foot. She is not putting on weight. She is not a lively bird like she used to be, but will often just sit there or go to sleep. Her droppings appear normal. She is very tame and affectionate still. A few weeks ago I gave her old budgie seeds ...... I have done lots of googling and wondering if she has ingested mycotoxins and that is why she is sick.

I have given her a broad spectrum antibiotic in her water and also put antibacterial cream on her foot but she doesn't seem to be getting better. Are you able to give me any ideas before I take her to the vet? I don't want to take her to the vet for me to tell me that she needs blood tests!!!
