My peacock is a 4 and half year old IB Peacock. He is free range. Last week I noticed that he didn’t seem to be acting normal. He was not as active. Started to watch him more. I wormed him with Safeguard. This is the second time he was wormed this year. First time was with Ivomec in the spring. Last Thursday he took off and didn’t come home to roost in his roost tree. I found him on Saturday evening and got him home. He was still sick. His wings drooped, laying around and eating very little. He did go up on roost that night. Sunday he laid around all day still not eating much at all. I was able to see his poop. It was just water with some white and yellow in it. After looking on the internet for what might be wrong only thing I came up with was maybe blackhead. His food and water is kept inside a pen and changed every day. So I didn’t think it was bad food. Sunday night he couldn’t get all the way up his roost tree. We waited till after dark and caught him. I gave him 180 mg of Metronidazole. Monday his poop was still water, with some white, yellow, and two or three times there was black pea sized whatever in it. Again he only ate very little. I offered him eggs, bread, parrot pellets, game bird maintenance and fruit. He only ate some parrot pellets and a little bread. I have vitamins and electrolytes in his water. Gave him meds again. Tuesday poop still water, white, yellow and a little more black stuff in it. He did eat a little more this time parrot pellets, eggs, and bread. Gave him meds again. Today I found out they had sprayed the farm with weed killer last Saturday. I was not home when they did it so that is why I didn’t know. This morning his poop was still watery but with less yellow in it and more solid stuff that is more greenish now. He ate a lot more today and is more active. Do you think I should be doing anything else for him because of the weed kill they sprayed? I am worried that I am not doing enough for him. Up till now he has been very healthy.
