Sick peahen

[Carajean]

My 2 year old peahen is very lethargic.
The 2 males seem normal. What can I do? I have not wormed them, I can't catch them! She has never laid an egg to my knowledge. I have safeguard paste for horses and suspension for goats

You really need to catch her.

You really need to catch her.

Ok, then what? What are your thoughts?

Could be many things. I suggest you catch her and weigh her.

Probably either worms or blackhead. Catch her and de-worm.

I gave her the first dose of goat SG.
now what?

Did you weigh her and how much did you give?

You have two choices, a one time dose of 2ml and a second in ten days will kill round and cecal worms but if you want to get all types of worms you will need to give her that amount for five consecutive days and another five days ten days later.

2ml. 6.5-7#
I have tylan too, would that help?

The 2 ml of Safeguard will treat cecal worms & large roundworms, it will not treat capillary worms. those require 5 consecutive days.

Do you have a food scale that you can weigh her on? You really need to get an accurate weight.

Tylan is only good for mycoplasma infections, and possible enteritis.

Can you get some Baytril & metronidazole? That's what I would give her if she were mine.
