    Eggbound peahen

    Well, Bleu has passed away. When the vet got in to do the spay she found her littered with abnormalities and infection. She said euthanasia was the most humane thing to do. She said to wake her back up and let her come home would be a painful death due to certain sepsis and organ failure...

    Birds in Iowa to be euthanized this weekend if not rehomed

    I am not sure how many people on this forum are from Iowa or the surrounding area, but the local chicken groups here have posted that there is a chicken farm in Bode, Iowa (just north of Fort Dodge) that needs to rehome 140,000 layers or they will be put down this weekend. It says to contact...

    Eggbound peahen

    My peahen went to the vet this morning. (Her name is Bleu by the way). I had to drop her off as that is what they are doing here due to the coronavirus. The vet gave her fluids, tube fed her, KY, basically everything I have been doing to see if she could get the egg to drop. She says she...

    Eggbound peahen

    Okay, thanks! The first they can do is tomorrow morning, so I took the appointment. I will continue to do everything here at home today and maybe have a good outcome before tomorrow. One more question. The CG Tractor Supply sold me says it expired in June 2019! I know most drugs stay good...

    Eggbound peahen

    I am about at my wit's end. Haha I just talked to the vet and they said they want her to come in to the office. They want to sedate her and take the egg out. I take my parrots to this vet and I know she is excellent with birds but sedating a peahen that is still alert and...

    Eggbound peahen

    I am going to call my vet today as she should be back at work and see if I can get some fluids. The tech on Friday (when the vet was gone) said they prefer to give birds fluids orally, but I would think that would be a lot to try to do orally? What do you do?

    Eggbound peahen

    Sorry for the late reply and thank-you! I have raised the GC dosage to what you recommended. Nothing yet. She is currently soaking in the tub again. I guess good news is that she shot diarrhea all over me on the way in. I have read that is how they often die is from not being able to...

    Eggbound peahen

    No she isn’t. I called again yesterday because I didn’t want to go through the weekend like this and they told me she was off until Monday. I called every other vet in our area and No one would see her. How is the baytril and meloxicam given?

    Yes, I would tube fluids if I knew the proper way to do it. Is the meloxicam and Baytril something I would ask my vet for? I can't seem to find it online, which makes sense I guess.

    Eggbound peahen

    Hello! I have an eggbound peahen. I have read through old threads and have done the calcium gluconate injection (2 ml of the 35% solution two days in a row now), tums crushed in water and given through a dropper, KY jelly every day, and yesterday soaked her in a warm bath for about an hour...

    New member with peafowl, ducks, one rooster!

    Hello! I am a former zoo keeper who now lives in Iowa. I take in a lot of rescue animals to our farm. As far as relevant animals to this group go, I have one rooster (who someone in town bought as a chick and couldn't keep because of his crowing), two ducks (someone's teenager bought them as...
