Injured Peacock! Possibly Paralyzed?

I dont know about iodine with peafowl, but chickens do not tolerate iodine all to well.

I use it on all fowl and it is well tolerated.

To clean the wound it is o.k. but after 3 days of use it impedes cell growth and you want the wound to close nicely.

I guess it just depends an the kind of lesion and the required duration of treatment.

We use Blu-Kote and sometimes peroxide.

Remove the feathers from around the wound and clean with Vetrycin Wound Spray. Suture the wound closed and coat with Blu-Kote and bandage and give at least two days of Baytril.
You may not be able to bandage the side of the body but you can keep him in a clean warm environment and he will heal fine. The head trauma is a different story but they usually come out of that fairly quickly.

Yes, I agree, it's not something one should use daily.

My vet told me I should use saline and chlorhexidine, so that is mainly what I use.

Thank you all for this information. Since I could not find a way to wrap the wound under his wing without wrapping his wing, the poor boy has wrap around both wings. Luckily, this keeps him from falling forward or sideways onto the wound again as he had been doing yesterday. Since the bleeding stopped yesterday, should I keep the wrap or remove it? It looks like his shoulders are squeezed together some, but it didn't seem to right. I'm going to check on him now.

Can you post some pictures of the wound?
