Sad peacock

[lyndafree]

My rescued peacock has lived here happily since March , however my next door neighbour has 10 peafowl and my boy naturally started going there. But always came home to eat and roost , until2 weeks ago when he disappeared for 6 days , whe he finally came home he had wing drop and hasn’t eaten much if anything . I don’t know if he was attacked by their peacocks or if he is ill. I managed to catch him and took him to the vets . He gave him antibiotics a vitamin injection and wormed him for me , he is home now but is still very listless ,off his food and still has wing drop . Has anyone else had this problem ? Do peacocks go like this after moulting ?

I don't know anything about Peacocks but he is beautiful! Hopefully he gets better.

I hope your handsome peacock gets better soon! I am not a peafowl expert so I'm sorry I have no advice to help!

I see you found the Peafowl Forum, maybe try posting there or the Emergency Forum here for more tailored recommendations if needed.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC! I'm glad your peacock came home, and for what your vet did for him. I'm also glad @casportpony saw your post as she raises them and can help you a lot! So could posting this in those links that @Jener8or gave you.
