I have good news for you, there are no blood-sucking lice on peafowl although there are feather mites, the large mites only roam on the birds at night while roosting.

Can you weigh them then let us know age, weight, and sex.

I read the insert so the Pyrethrin spray I used today should do it I had already dusted last week with no response my concern is how skinny they were when I held onto them and they are being picked on by the healthy ones

If the dusts do not get under the feathers and onto the skin it will not be very effective.

The dosage for Ivermec injectable is 0.20 mg/kg given PO or IM. If you want to give the Pour-On the dosage is 0.40 ml placed on the skin. We like to distribute it on the back between the wings, under the wings, above the but fluff, and a tiny drop behind the crest for the face lice. Again, on the skin not on the feathers.

up date unfortunately I lost a peacock I am waiting for the results of a necropsy Its not funny I could not get help when they were sick but you can send them to the state for how they died , I am hoping to find out so a better treatment plan can be established I now have another peacock making the same noise that the other one died did so I am scared all were treated with baytril, tylosin (not at the same time )and they have been wormed, the others have stopped making the noise so the meds helped them, The peacock I lost weighed 3 pounds at death and I could not even pick him up when he was healthy he was so heavy
Thank everyone for their input and Jedds for letting me buy the medication

Look inside of the raspy bird's mouth for yellowish lesions like you see here on the corner of the mouth and back a bit like on the right side. There can be more at the opening of the airway and the tongue.

Don't forget to do your second round of Safeguard deworming ten days later for another four or five days. The first round kills the worms, the second day kills the eggs that hatch out after the first treatment. Do not consider the Ivermec as the first round as it is ineffective as a dewormer. I didn't see where your fecal showed any cocci so I would discontinue the Corid. Also, consider a good probiotic to help replenish the gut flora.
