Keep giving the tetracycline until you get other medication.
a bird like this .... move slowly (unbalance) + poop yellow / white liquid = BLACKHEAD !
So metronidazole( in the throat ) ... double dose ....because it is a bird considered as dead ... they die in 2/3 days of Blackhead!
@calidude209, how is you pea today?

Sorry about your loss

I'm sure our pea health experts will advise you on this, but any other peas you have will need medication right away too.
Even if they look healthy - they often don't look sick until it is too late.

Sorry for your loss. Do you live in the US? If so, buy a bottle of Fish Zole (250mg metronidazole), a bottle of liquid Baytril (enrofloxacin) and a bottle of Safeguard for Goats (fenbendazole). Deworm all with the Safeguard at 0.23 ml per pound orally for 5 days. If more start to look sick, give one Fish Zole tablet orally once a day for five days and give Baytril 0.045 ml per pound orally twice a day for no more than 5 days. Also might be a good idea to get a tube and syringe to tube feed with.sorry i havent been home.poor guy died the next night.called about 6 vets (for matrondale) around my area.none were opened.it sucks cause he was the most popular guy on the ranch.thanks to all for helping i really appreciate.take care and god bless

So true when it comes to peas, their looks are deceiving and they can go downhill very fast.

Also might be a good idea to get a baseline weight on each one. Do they free range?
