Peafowl 103: Illness, Injury, Medication and Care (in progress)

Ok, I gave him a mirror to look at so he would open his mouth, it didn't look like you're above picture with whatever that white thing was growing, it looked more like a cut.

So you think he has Trichomoniasis? Can I put something in the water to treat him?

 

[mrhoodie]

So I need to get him some dimetridazole (Tylan)???

Tylan = tylosin
Dimetridazole (Emtryl) is a completely different drug.

You really need to catch him and take a picture of the inside of his mouth.

I see that now, I wrote down the wrong antibiotic, when I did a search for some reason dimetridazole came up with Tylan, I see that they are completely different drugs, and that I would need to locate Emtryl not Tylan. Thanks.

I really don't think I could catch him. And if if by chance I could, I think he would get so dramatized. And he would never let me get near him again. I was hoping I could just treat his water?

You MUST catch him! DO NOT GIVE MEDICATIONS LIKE dimetridazole without verifying that it's needed. Wet pox also looks like canker, as do some bacterial infections. Please, catch him and check the inside of his mouth. DO NOT just medicate his water with something that may or may not help, or worse, might do harm.

And fear not, they won't stay traumatized forever.

As I already mentioned he is semi wild. I will see what I can do about catching him, because if I catch him I want to contain him in an enclosure for a while, because it's not like he's going to let me get near him after that, if I need to treat him. I was able to see in his mouth though, it did not look like your above picture, however it did look infected on the side with some pus material.

Then he must be caught and treated accordingly.
