So sorry! I seriously doubt that you did anything wrong. You really did everything you could do, and you did it with the help of a vet. -Kathy

I've been amazed by the stuff they pass. Last peahen I treated started passing whole grains and grit seven days after being fed nothing but Kaytee. -Kathy

I just read that birds in GI distress will often eat too much grit, so maybe that's part of her problem. Is she still getting ACV? I ask because I read something about the acidity in tomatoes causing bleeding ulcers in a parrot, so ask your vet about the the possibility of ACV doing the same or...

So I didn't see that your picture yesterday... That chunk of stuff look like it could be infection from her intestines of repro tract. I'm on the iPad, so it's hard for me to say for sure, so if you looked real close at it and think it's a green bean, then it sure could be. -Kathy

I'm so sorry! -Kathy

How is she today? Okay.. so she's about 1kg (1000 grams). Total crop volume is said to be 5% of their body weight, so that would be 50ml, but that is too much to tube all at once, so a safe number to start with would be 15-25ml several tims a day. If she were mine I would start with 15-25ml of...

I promise you that placing the tube is in birds is nothing like doing it in other animals. Would it surprise you to know that one of my peacocks still like being tube fed even tough he's four years old? As do the pigeons I'm tubing. Kaytee Exact is what I use on all birds (pigeons, doves...

Let me re-phrase that "should work very well". I haven't used it, but lots of literature says it should work. -Kathy

Tylan will work very well for NE! -Kathy

I've had quite a few sick peafowl lately, and it's hard to say what from, though I suspect it's been worms, blackhead, coccidiosis, NE, E. coli or a combo. Treatment for them is a warm room, fluids orally or orally and SC, tube feeding, and five days of "The casportpony cocktail" (Corid...

You're welcome! -Kathy

My vet had me use metronidazole for mine, so talk to your vet about that.. She's about 1kg, yes? If she were mine I'd wanna get at least 100 ml of fluids into each day, which is almost impossible to do with safely with a just a syringe. Giving subbies to birds can be a little tricky because...

Definitely way too much blood. Your Corid drench amount was spot on. How many days did you give that? Since you were a vet tech, would you feel comfortable giving her subcutaneous fluids? Can you call the vet and talk to him about switching her to something like metronidazole for clostridium...

Cannot see the picture of droppings. -Kathy

Can you post a picture of her poop? -Kathy
