Peacock chick bloated with air

[fergyc2l2t316]

Does anyone have an idea what to use or do for a peacock chick that has air in its body? I have to use a catheter to release the air from its body. I don't know what to do otherwise. I'm pretty sure that it is some kind of bacterial infection, but do not know what is causing it and can not find anything on the net. Please help. I don't want to loose the chick.

Thanks,

Update on my baby peachick. She or he is doing awesome. The night I posted my first help, I deflated her belly. Held her for about 1/2 hours and apparently the hole that was sucking in the air sealed. I have not had to deflate her since. She is doing great and singing like a Lark or Nightengale, whichever you like. LOL

Thanks everyone.

It's so good to hear of happy endings . Thanks for updating us. WE often wonder how some of the "problem" cases turn out.

Alright Furgy,

So how is your chick doing now ?????

She/he is doing great. Since the night that I had posted about the chick and I let the air out on it, I held it for 30 minutes as it snuggled with me. Then after that it had no more problems. Its doing great and loves to snuggle. I know its going to be big before long. It wants to ride on my shoulder. LOL wait until it gets big, right? Thank you so much for asking. I greatly appreciate it.
So depending whether its male or female, its name is Wind Puff. Windy if a girl, and Puff if its a boy. It seems to fit the chick.
