Young Canary that won’t fly

I purchased a young canary. He eats well, eats his vegetables, bathes, but doesn’t really socialize with the other canaries and won’t fly! I perch him and he seems unstable! he sleeps on the floor of the cage in a corner unless I pick him up and put him on a low placed fleece tent home. was treated for air sac mites just in case, took him to vet who thought he had a respiratory problem was placed on nubalizer and given meds in his water but he’s not triving. I don’t know what else to do.
