Hi
I know this is common, but just curious what anyone thinks. Our peacocks have been fighting regularly since the weather started to warm. I noticed Phoenix acting funny a few days ago, but since they free range It took me a bit to figure out why. He has been hanging out by the house and today I noticed he has a grossly swollen eye. I have no idea if it's injured, or if something else is going on. We think we have MG starting in the flock, and I have ordered med for that, which should be here tomorrow. We are going to put the whole flock on that. Today I gave Phoenix 1/4 tab Ciproflaxin, and a baby aspirin. I need help catching him, which I wont get before tomorrow at the earliest. He will eat the meds out of my hand in a treat. Is that enough Cipro, or should I be giving him more?
I have antibiotic eye gel but obviously I need to catch him before I can use that. Any other suggestions? Could the MG cause this?
Help, please! Oh, and with his full train, I'm just not sure how I'd get him to a vet, even if I was ready to.....
