    Peacock with swollen pink eye Vet has no idea of the cause!

    I was wondering the EXACT same thing. No idea how he accomplished it but supposedly he did! He didn't mention anything! Not even a possible tumor behind the eye. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Gives me a good idea of what else could possibly be wrong with him.

    Peacock with swollen pink eye Vet has no idea of the cause!

    I think because it's dangerous to put a bird under general anesthesia. But for some reason he wont do local anesthesia or gas.

    Quick question: was it a local anesthesia that was used for your peahen's operation?

    I'll give it a shot. We have a grand total of ONE avian vet within a five hour radius and he is not willing to do it.

    Peacock with swollen pink eye Vet has no idea of the cause!

    Thank you for all the info! In all my years of owning birds I have never seen something like this. I'm so sorry to hear your bird didnt make it. I've called a few vets and it is proving impossible to find one willing to do the operation. Not sure what to do at this point. Preparing for the...

    Peacock with swollen pink eye Vet has no idea of the cause!

    Glad to see some replies! I was losing all hope! It looks similar to that @kskingbe but it has more of a cloudy look as well and all around swollen instead of just the lower half. Here's some pics. It is TWICE as swollen as that today. We did a warm compress and I feel it made it worse. Vet said...

    Peacock with swollen pink eye Vet has no idea of the cause!

    My white peacock is almost 2 years old, large, and not under fed at all. He is still active and still eating and drinking but for the last few weeks his right eye ( just the right eye) has been pink and just in the last couple weeks has begun to swell up. He's been wormed, I already treated his...

    Thanks for the link! Tyndall is not a bad distance from me at all. Definitely pick up distance. My Indian blue is split to white so I wanted a white hen to get white chicks. My peahen that died was split to bronze. What would their chicks have been? And how do you get a pied? Is it always...

    Wow! Sounds like a great plan! It is pretty hot still. I prefer to pick up birds anyway so I can see the birds and where they live and. Plus I'm also looking to purchase a laying white peafowl and I don't know anyone who ships adult birds (they seem to stress alot more.) There is no one nearby...

    Thank you for the reply. I will have to check him out. Brookings huh? Are you going to continue keeping peafowl? It would be nice to know a fellow keeper/breeder close by.

    How much Omnicef for a Guinea?

    My guinea got into a fight with one of our roosters and broke a wing. We set it but now I'm more worried about infection setting in due to the broken bone. We had a similar situation with a guinea hen with a broken toe that had good results using the omnicef oral suspension. I just can't...

    Blue Copper and Splash Copper Marans Discussion

    I actually have TWO Blue Copper Marans cockerels that have no copper. Craziest thing. I had never seen that before. They are actually really neat looking.
