Help! Sick peachicks

Who suggested that? If you're gonna but anything, get Baytril (enrofloxacin).

What is DAC water?

It was a friend that my husband knows that does rescue. He did not see the birds though so I do not trust that at all.
The gaping has not stopped yet I will try to find Baytril but it is not otc. Maybe my cat rescue friend might have a tiny bit to spare. The DAC water is the Tylo-dox tablets where I crushed 20- 20mg tablets into 4 cups of water. I can resend the pics of the bottle. I was also taking 10mg crushing and mixing with 1cc water and feeding to each of them. The DAC is water and daily tablet is what am I not sure I should stop or not.
Should I put a little of the .25% mite powder on a towel for them and take the straw away?

I also thought Cipro and Baytril are the same But I must be wrong

They are similar, both are in the same class of antibiotics.

Can I give the Cipro 3 times a day until I can find Baytril? They are gaping even more and so exhausted

I am, by no means, an expert on peafowl. I do have three new peachicks that are 6 weeks old. Since they are a new species to me I have been doing a lot of research. One theme comes up in every article I read on peafowl-Coccidiosis. From what I have read this is the number one health menace for peachicks. Could this be a possibility for your two chicks? If so, the literature says to treat with Corid (Amprolium).

Hi! They are on medicated feed and the medication in the feed is the same as corrid from what I understand. I know you cannot do both the corid and medicated feed. I do not think Coccidia infects the lungs like this I think they have pneumonia

Upload to youtube or vimeo, then copy/paste the link here.

I created an account for this video they are not doing good. They are getting worse

Amoxicillin is hardly ever used to treat respiratory infections, but is is a good drug to have in your kit.

Is it any better?

You'll need the liquid, not the pills.

Where do you live?

Where do you live?

I live in Boston, NY i put a plea out to my friends for any left over Baytril they may have. I feel they may have mites too. Can I add a little bit of powder to the straw?
