Hi all, I have a royal palm turkey who has been making this motion with his throat like he is trying to throw up, he is still drinking well but eating very little, he acts like he wants to eat but doesn't, he has lost a lot of weight. I have only seen him actually cough a couple of times and he does NOT have his mouth open. Someone suggested gapeworm so I treated him with safeguard for goats last week with little to no improvement should I treat again? Could it be something stuck in his crop? This turkey was brutally attacked by a dog 6 months ago and survived-his injuries were on his back and side at that time could it relate back to that? He was on antibiotics at that time. We moved to a new home (never any poultry on the property prior to us) about a month before this started. He is in a fenced in area with chickens and everyone else is fine. Any ideas?
thank you!
amy
