Subject: GASPING FOR AIR Author: KOULA [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:37:04 07/21/06 Fri I have a white peacock about one year old. He has been gasping for air now for a while and makes a funny noice. He appears to be eating. I am new with peafowl, and I am not quite sure what could be wrong. I have been administering Ivomec through their water, once a month, and it does not appear to help at all. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

This could be something besides worms. But while we are talking about wormers--the Ivomec does NOT treat the capillary worm. This tiny worm frequently causes death of peafowls--especially young ones but sometimes adults.

I have had to bury some very precious (to me) birds so am familiar with the pain. This evening I lost a peachick that I was giving orthopedic treatment. Though I had know this one just a few days I hated losing it

I tried CPR but it was too late. My state, Georgia, has poultry labs that are free for residents of this state. They have indeed provided necropsy and other valuable help with poultry

Sores in his throat would make him keep gasping.I use Fish Zole pills for this, which I get from Smith's Poultry and Gamebird Supplies.Are you using an oil based Ivomec? An oil based product will float on top of the water so it will not be evenly distributed. Cheryl
