He is lots better today. :) Normal droppings and pacing to get out. I will deworm him tomorrow and then we'll see if he's ready to go soon. He says he is. :)

OK. Thanks again.

I can give him Safeguard in bread and he would eat it. But I already have him on the two antibiotics, plus Amprol. Maybe I should wait til we're slowed down a bit on the meds before I deworm him. He seems to be continuing to improve, he ate all his breakfast and was working on dinner when I...

I don't see how he could possibly have worms, but if I can get a fecal I will send it off to the vet, because then I can identify cocci, also.. I do deworm them often, but we have had problems with worms in the past year because it has been extremely wet and cool for the past year and half, up...

ALSO (and this is just for anyone's benefit who might actually be interested and not know) Blackhead is usually found in young birds. It's extremely contagious to other peafowl. AND it's treated with Metronidozole which he's already on!!! He IS showing some improvement with that med, and also...

OK, so HISTOMONIASIS is Blackhead. And we have already pretty much ruled that out. If you read my original post you will see that I said that our flock is on a regular deworming schedule. I have already discussed this with someone who is familiar with poultry and his opinion based on our...

I'm very unhappy about having to confine him, and he is too of course. I was just winning his trust and now that is all destroyed. I'm afraid the stress of being confined will not do him much good either. And the other peas are very stressed out about it, too. Not a good situation at all. :(

Well, I have no idea what that is, so fill me in? And as far as an older bird getting cocci (he's actually six) any bird can get coccidiosis at any time, and especially if their immune system is depressed for another reason, which his probably is. And since cocci is species specific, he can...

OK, so...I caught him tonight. Been treating him for the past few days with baytril and Canker meds too, and he is improving, but slowly. I'm concerned though because he has white diarrhea, iwith just a slight tinge of blood. Cocci??? Thoughts???? Plan is to treat him with Amprol, jic...

Helllo all. Sapphire, our 5 year old peacock, is sick. He seemed fine two days ago. Yesterday I noticed that he stayed in the barn all day, up in the rafters. I looked at him up there with binoculars (this gives you an idea how high up it is) and he looked back at me seemed alert, no...
