Hi!
I have a rescued peahen, I was driving down the road and found her in a ditch during a storm two years ago, she had a wing injury and respiratory issues that seemed to occasionally flare up over the years.
She hatched out two babies this year after we got her a friend.
One of the babies passed today, they are about 3 months old I think and have been safely locked in a pen with fresh food, water, and frequent cleaning of the pen.
She started getting a little sneezy again and the peachicks got sneezy too, and a little bit of gasping. The gasping stops when I back away, it seems more stress induced. One of the peachicks passed overnight, only a few days after discovering the sneezing. She had blood crusted around her mouth.
They have been on a mix of all flock, and medicated feed. I had started Denguard/tiagard.
I don't know if I should deworm her, or run antibiotics. I'm nervous but expecting the last peachick to possible pass if the first one did...
---------------
I'm also wondering if I shouldn't allow her to be around other birds or have babies, if her respiratory issue is passing (can that happen?) she'll be fine for months but occasinally have a small sneeze... I just feel so terrible.
