Help me please! My new boy isn’t looking so good 😞

[Lynnmck]

I got my first turkey 5 days ago. He is 3 yrs old and when she loaded him into my car she said he had mites and said she gave him ivermectin. Once home I quarantined him in a old stall by himself He has been talking lots and eating and drinking well...until today. This morning I sprayed his legs and feet with a water/neen oil mixture and powdered him lightly with DE powder on his back and under his wings. Tonight he is really lethargic and non talkative and listless. He is also opening his beak in a weird way. I am including a pic. 1st one is him today and the 2nd one was a few days ago. And help or info at all is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you all in advance!

What does his poop look like?
Is a vet an option?

 

[Lynnmck]

Thanks, his poop is normal. And yes I will be looking into a vet tomorrow as soon as they open. Hopefully I can find one that knows turkeys

Can you take a picture of his next poop and post it here?
does he still have any mites or lice?

Thanks, I will get one in the morning. I don’t see anything under his wings or body. And he isn’t itching or scratching at all. But his legs look like he has leg mites and his toes look weirdly swollen to me.

Well I phoned a few vets in the area and I’m still waiting for a call back...
Larry seems to be about the same, but he is not gaping his mouth anymore. He is still eating a fair bit, but no posturing or talking.
To me he seems very unhappy and depressed. The women I got him from said she only had chickena bit when I play turkey hen sounds he literally perks right up and postures and talks!! Could he be just depressed because he is by himself in quarantine? And there are no turkey hens here? I find this quite upsetting
Here is a pic of his poop. And thanks so much for any help at all
