Sick peacock

The Tramazole you gave is 10% albendazole, yes? If so, I would give a 4kg peacock 0.8 ml once & repeat in 10-14 days.

The ivermectin sheep drench is only 0.08%, so the dose of that I would give mine is 5 ml.

What does should I give him Kathy???? He is 6lbs... Just under 3kg. How much ivermectin will I give him? And for how many days? Thank you for your help

Just under 3kg is very scary, he should be well over 4kg at his age. Is there a vet that you can take him to? I think he needs antibiotics and supportive care (subcutaneous fluids & tube feeding).

I just didn't realise He is sick from worms. Night mare. I gave him 3.5Ml ivermectin. Today. So please God he gets better. His poo is a bit more solid now. He is eating and drinking. Do I need to give him more ivermectin in a few days Kathy or leave it for a few months? Vet isn't a option I'm afraid

Peafowl spend most of the day foraging on insects. What are you feeding him.

Turkey finisher. But here in Ireland it's only a seasonaly thing. That I can get near to Christmas. So now he is on layers pellets. But o leave him outside during the day so he picks at insects and grass etc.

It might not be worms, it could be a bacterial infection, or something else. The problem with ivermectin is that it does not treat all worms, so if he has capillary worms, he needs albendazole.

And at 3kg, I guess he's not eating, so he really should be tube-fed fluids, then tube-fed food.
