sick peahen

[isuperman35]

Have a peahen that is just lying on ground and won't hold her weight. No obvious signs of injury. She free ranges out in the property and her partner peacock has not returned in almost two months (believe predator got him). She left several times looking for him, but has since just fallen over.Any ideas what s going on?

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your peahen. You would have more chances of getting some answers to her problem posting on either the peafowl forum or the emergencies/illnesses forum. Here are the links to get you there:

Good luck to you and your bird, it's always hard to see them having problems.

Is she eating/drinking at all? How is her poop? I wonder if she is pining away for her mate. Some animals so grieve themselves to death. You can post her symptoms in detail at "emergencies, diseases, injuries thread." and also might be good to post on the "peafowl thread." I hope she will be alright.
