Thanks again I will order the Baytril 10%.

I did the physical and do not see / feel anything hard. My vet called back and said he was thinking about it and said now that we know he has a history of wheezing it may have been a long term respiratory thing that might respond better to a stronger antibiotic, he suggested the Baytril 10%...

I will change out the shavings today. I finally got a call back from the people that used to have him and they said he used to wheeze for them sometimes too but they thought that was normal and didn't do anything about it. What had me concerned was that I saw a post that said if you worm them...

Hi Goosebaby, I added a few new posts on Bruce but it looks like I replied to me and not to you. I am still getting to understand this platform. Would you please take a look at the video I posted of Bruces breathing? Thanks so much.

I loaded a few short videos to show the breathing on YouTube, attached are the links . I would appreciate it if you gave my your opinion on his breathing.

Note on the wheezing he does not open his mouth when he breathes like I saw in Gapeworm videos.

Looks like this wont let me attach a video file.

We finished the medicine but Bruce seems to be having more problems breathing. Also he still has runny tan poop. I also notice that he appears to eat his pellets as mush, but when I change his water there is a pile of pellet mush at the bottom of the water bowl. Since I never had a goose...

Will do, thanks for the fast response.

Thanks again for your advise, Bruce seems to be doing a little better. After a few false starts with the pills (he has a beak made of iron, and he holds the pill for a few minutes before he spits it out) I switched to making a slurry with the pill in a few ML of hot water and a drop of...

Great news, I got him to take the pill in a small cube of watermelon, of course that may not work tomorrow but it is a start. I am sure I will eventually have to force feed him the pill but it is nice to start off easy. Thanks for the additional information. I will get some probiotics too.

I am heading to the market now to get him some treats. I will try the pills a few times with a treat, and if he wont take it I will try forcing the pill. I watched a video on it, but I am sure they make it look easier than it is. Thanks again

Thanks so much for responding. We really don't know the breed, he is kind of a mutt goose. I will attach a picture if that helps. I have SMZ tablets from my horses, they say they are 800MG. (of course the horses get like 20 pills at a time) Based on his weight it seems he would need about...

I just posted there, thanks
