peahen with the eye problem- now cant walk.. drags herself

[afeatherfan]

I think she is broody also.
Give her a egg or two turkey eggs if you
dont have any pcock eggs will do that is what I give
mine .

 

[deerman]

move her to see if she is ok a broody hen will set , but not drag herself along.......if sick she will need meds asap.....also in the pic with the eye getting better , she even looked ill

 

[chickenzoo]

Yes, if broody she would still walk normal. How did you give the meds? Injection? where? Possible if injected you hit a nerve. Could also be eggbound etc.. but funny that she would have problems like that all together...... I would first think it was part of the initial illness.

Also, were you injecting in the legs? Tylan can cause muscle damage...

 

[wannabchick]

She is bad..I came home today and found her laying in the puddles water behind where the storm had blown the canopy..so water is stick there..picked he up and then put her down..she didn't fight me..
Put her down..and then she tried to get away from me..but when she would take a step..she would just fall face down..as if her legs aren't working. I looked her over and see no blood or anything..
Now iam really worried

Her eye is much much better

No I never injected..I would give the tylan 50 into the bread ..3-4 cc she got once a day for 4 days

What do I do now?

Past history
Corid- 5 days
Safeguard 7 days
Gyllimician for 5 days..because she was acting I'll.then the eye thing showed up and switched to tylan


All in the past few weeks

Sorry my typing is bad iam so upset and worried about her
No she isn't eating
I have here for my pets
Tylan 50


What do I use now?
Gyllicimian

Any weight loss? I would bet that the leg thing is either blackhead or worms if she has no bound egg and she was not injected. I've had a few chickens go down hill and start limping then not walking and it was worms, even though they had been dosed with Safeguard. Try ivomectrian, since she is in bad shape I'd use 1/2 the regular dose 1/4 -1/2 cc on skin.. also try giving fluids by syringe 1/2 poultry cell vitamins to half water in a syringe then inject in loose skin were shoulder bladed and neck meet. Do this a few times a day to keep up her strength. try hand feeding her scrambled eggs by putting in her mouth if she won't eat.
Black head meds you have to get from vet or a product called Fishzole for fish, but it has doubled in price for some reason lately..... I was told people were using it to make drugs or something so they hiked the price.

I think that the chickens may be giving it to her. Are any of your other peacocks acting strange? A year ago my whole flock got this wierd disease and it spread like wildfire they passed it on to my ducks. And all of them had snot bubbles coming out of their nostrols and they would wobble and fall over. Are your chickens acting wierd? I think that you should close the gate between the chickens and the peacocks, just long enough to see if that helps anything...

I would do nothing, wait. She has had a laundry list of treatment and it may be the problem. Wasn't terramycin used also? Stop giving her meds and wait. Every animal has what is called "natural flora" which are micro organisms which we depend on to live. For animals there are natural bacteria in their gut that help break down food and digest it properly. Bacteria everywhere on the bird really, but they are beneficial bacteria and not "opportunistic" or pathogenic bacteria. Bacteria generally fall into two classes, gram positive and gram negative. We won't break it down more here as far as to morphology (rods, cocci etc) or the post will be too long. When the immune system gets messed up this can adversely harm the animal. With the list of meds used, I suspect that this has happened. Usually I use antibiotics for 3-4 days and one at a time orally or through injection. Each antibiotic has a target bacteria i.e. gram negative. When more than one med is given in close proximity time wise and each one wipes out a different class of bacteria there is a potential to have problems because the meds are not specific to pathogenic bacteria and wipe out the good stuff too. Have you felt her to see if she is egg bound? If you give any more meds, no antibiotics maybe just ivormec in case it is a resistant worm, but check for egg bound first. Yes move out the chickens too.

Best of luck

She has been hit with a whole lot with out Probiotics!!

 

[wannabchick]

should I try and put some yogurt then into her mouth??? also.. I will place some ivomectrin on her upper back lower neck.. incase its worms.. that the safeguard doesnt work on..

Poor thing.. I do remember I noticed this.. before she came down with the sinus thing... she walked around with her wings dropped down... I dont know anything about peafowl.. so I didnt know if this is just a peafowl thing.. or in hindsight now.. I wonder if that was the first tell tale signs

no I dont have them together anymore... their is a gate between them though.. its a double pen.. kinda thing .. you can see from my photos.. my peas are kept in the back area.. but yes.. they were together the first few days as I was building the back pen area..

and then moved them all to the back

none of the other peas are showing any signs of anything

thank you all
