13 year old peacock , showing signs of listlessness, ruffled tail feathers, drooping wings, gaping beak and watery stool. I am not sure what to treat him with. If it is worms or possibly blackhead.
He has not been dewormed for years, he free ranges and is the only peacock we have. He has been with us for 11 years now. We do have chickens also.
Please help |

Thank you very much. I did treat him with Safeguard
yesterday afternoon, 5ml/ gallon water, gave that to him to drink
and soaked some pieces of bread in it too. He seems better this morning. Still laying in the sun a lot but doesn't seem to be gaping as much and he is eating some. I will continue treatment and repeat like you said to. Thanks so much, this peacock is like a dog to us, we just love him! |
