3. PROBIOTICS:
Fairly often we have Peacock owners who post in a panic that their bird is sick and that they need advice quickly. Adding to the panic is that they have no medications on hand and that the needed medications must be ordered by mail.
MedPet 4 in 1 will handle the bacterial and especially the protozoan infections your Peacock will incur. Actually, it is good for all types of birds.
Chickens are resistant carriers and heavy shedders of the four deadly protozoans: Blackhead, Coccidiosis, Hexamitiasis and Canker. We find that protozoan infections will spread more quickly and become more deadly among Peacocks, Pheasants, Turkey, Quail and other Game Birds. For the first 12 to 16 weeks, the protozoans that infect peacocks will not trigger an immune response with the same strength as that in found in Chickens.
Untreated protozoan infections will often cause death in Peacocks. Those who do keep Chickens and Peacock in close proximity without problems may count themselves as lucky.
The protozoans effecting peacock are transmitted by worms and worm eggs. So, worm control becomes an essential part of Peacock health. In addition to transmitting deadly protozoan infections, worms will also cause intestinal damage and death.
DO NOT BE CAUGHT AGAIN with a sick Peacock and no Meds.
