How to Safely Catch and Treat and/or Medicate Peafowl

[birdman55]

too late back laying down....see is opening her eyes more then normal...but they are still shut...

 

[birdman55]

well I took her out of the small cage and she started walking around clucking...then I caught her and gave her about 25ml of a warm sugar solution...here are some pics




this is her poo forget the dirty carpet



I don't see any worms in it...it was greenish and white...liquidy.....I did try and feed her some feed by putting some in my hand and then placing it by her mouth and she opened and closed her mouth...I also did this with the sugar solution and got some in her mouth she raised her head and swallowed....but I will redo and post some pics now that I am used to doing this...its really not that hard...to tube feed...just gotta take your time...make sure there is no resistance...and make sure the neck is extended so It can go down with ease..she is resting now....

She looks much better. It's truly amazing what a little heat and sugar water can do for them. Quite often it's all they need and they will start eating on their own. Aren't you glad you tried tubing?

yep she is one of my favorites...that's y I did it...I wouldn't bother to do anything if it was a non favorite...would have did my own necropsy and then disposed of the birds...
