    Peahen with swollen jaw?

    Thank you for your suggestion! I did end up taking her to the vet and it was an infection but unfortunately the vet couldn’t get it all out either so we scheduled for her to have surgery but by the time she had the surgery, the infection had already moved into her bone. Vet packed the area with...

    Peachick with possible coccidia

    Today’s update: I was not able to get him to eat at all today. I wasn’t home most of the day so it’s possible he’s eating in the brooder but I’m not sure. He did have poopy booty again so I cleaned it up. Also gave the first dose of baytril. I’m looking for toltrazuril and I think I found some...

    Peachick with possible coccidia

    He doesn’t have anything stuck to his booty today but he’s still dropping weight. That being said I have to take him out and show him how to eat and I try to do that several times a day but he will only eat at night. I see him drinking in the brooder but not eating. He’s still very spunky though...

    Peachick with possible coccidia

    Just another update: he lost several grams today but I couldn’t get him to eat until this evening and he ate really good once he decided to! Upon further inspection I noticed he had poopy butt so I got him cleaned up. He’s even spunkier today than previous days so maybe we’re heading in the...

    Peachick with possible coccidia

    Just an update: I finally got the chance to try to feed the little one again and give it the corid but all it was interested in was sleeping in my hand! It definitely has more spunk each time I handle it (I know I’m not supposed to handle a lot but I’m trying to make sure it survives) but I also...

    Peachick with possible coccidia

    Yes I do have a syringe. Should I do that multiple times a day or for multiple days? Thank you so much for your help!

    Peachick with possible coccidia

    I have liquid corid. I do not have a food scale but my daughter does so I can borrow it from her. How much should the baby be gaining each day? The only “off” thing I’ve noticed besides it not eating well is it keeps its eyes closed a lot. No droopy wings. It did seem to have a little more...

    Peachick with possible coccidia

    I forgot to add in the original post that this baby is not on medicated feed. It’s eating game bird starter which I hope it ok, I’ve seen a lot of conflicting information on what to feed new babies.

    Peachick with possible coccidia

    Hi everyone! I’m sure I’ve driving yall nuts with all the peafowl questions lately but I truly appreciate the help! I’ve had a lot of trouble this year! Anyway, I have a peachick that is 5 days old. I’ve never hatched my own peafowl before so I’m navigating uncharted territory! This little one...

    Peahen with swollen jaw?

    I brought her back in tonight because it had swelled up pretty large. There is/was a kernel in there and I’m still not sure I got it all out but I did the best I could. Should I keep working on it each day until the swelling starts to go down? I don’t want to have to put her through that any...

    Peahen with swollen jaw?

    Ok I wasn’t sure if peafowl got a “kernel” like chickens do. It did seem like the pus was harder than say human pus and it looked like there was still more to come out but she was pretty miserable and I had her bleeding so I decided to stop for tonight. I’ll give it another go tomorrow just to...

    Peahen with swollen jaw?

    Ok I started her on doxy-tyl (I think that’s what it’s called) yesterday because that’s all I had. Today I grabbed her and noticed like a scab at the corner of her mouth and when I put pressure on it you could tell there is infection in it. I brought her inside and cleaned out as much as I could...

    Peahen with swollen jaw?

    I can’t get my hands on tylan. I do have some powdered antibiotics though do you have a recommendation for one of those?

    Peahen with swollen jaw?

    I haven’t tried to pick it out. When I was looking at her I could see there was dirt but didn’t mess with it further than that. Is that something I should wear gloves for?
