Peacock can not stand. Please help!!

I am certainly no expert and I hope the vet was wrong but I do know that even in humans it is possible to be paralyzed and still have involuntary leg movements... Sorry! Let us know how he does if you get those wounds to heal up!!

Welcome to BYC!

Ok I have been encouraged today! I went out to check on my pea and while I was in the area I have him he attempted to collect his legs under him and “stand” he didn’t stand but I could tell he was pushing back against the floor. I did his dressing changes and took a pic of his left leg wound. I forgot the right. It it is slightly worse than the left. But I was messing around with the wound on the right and he definitely did not like it! I also used the paper clip to test his feeling. You will see in the pictures where he feels at. I do have to push very hard. But he definitely pulls away or try’s to get away. I did it multiple times to make sure it wasn’t a coincidence. I do believe he is slowly getting better because at the vet he squeezed his feet really hard with hemostats and he didn’t flinch. I’ve included pics. I just wish I knew what caused this and I’m hoping I am doing all that I can do to help him.

How is your peacock?
