He's still not great... which is boggling my mind. I tried to take him outside a little bit yesterday to see if he'd graze some grass since he wouldn't eat anything other than his mealworms..
He grazed for all of like.. 2 minutes. And then stood in one spot and like preened or bit or itched. I...
Yeah unfortunately I don't see any like.. scaley or white stuff or any "abnormal" looking skin.... it just looks like normal skin.. :'(
Idk what could be causing it. But Im Not ruling out ringworm until I complete a round of antibiotics for him..
Can you send me some good pictures of ringworm that you may have found? When I looked up "ringworm on geese" I just got a lot of pics of like ducks with foamy eye or geese with other ailments.. idk why I can't seem to find a good picture depicting ringworm...
Also, that's a good idea. They...
That's so strange... idk what would've caused this then...? Like it doesn't seem like it's stress induced... since he's not seeming to impulsively pick st his feathers. And itsbonlymin one area. From the very top of his chest(like where the black in his neck meets the beige of his chest) to the...
But also. Thabk you fornletting me know the Teo antibiotics were the same. Unfortunately the one from chewy needs a prescription in order to buy... and my roomate is being weird about ordering the other one bc ut automatically filled in his card information even tho he doesn't allow that...
What do u mean if he has bathing water? He's always had bathing water.. I mean, personally I didn't see any little crawlies on him when I shined a flashlight on him and night i nor my roomate had gotten any bites.. but idk.. the mite spray seems to be helping.
I also have blu-kote and an...
Even if it's not ringworm or a fungal/bacterial infection? I think another user said they're more inclined to think it's mites..
I don't see any lesions or anything
And for some reason keeping him in a colder area (aka inside in an air conditioned room) and he's not itching NEARLY as much...
I jave another few questions, im sorry to bother, but,
Where could he have picked up bird mites? Since he is the only bird I have right now..and he doesn't have like.. a "nest" and he sleeps with me at night in his puppy bed.
Even though I haven't been able to spot anything crawling sround on...
Hey so my roomate is actually having trouble ordering the antibiotics via the link u sent me. So I looked it up on chewy (which also has a faster delivery time) is this the same thing?? And what strength would I choose?? https://www.chewy.com/enrofloxacin-compounded-oral-oil/dp/381142
Of course!!! And thank you so much for your feedback! Yeah his skin isn't like red or inflamed looking... but he just keeps scratching and preening and rubbing and losing more and more feathers:'((
And I will! I'm gonna try everything I can... I already ordered the antibiotics tho. Should I...
Oh my gosh you're amazing! Thank you!!! Also here are the links to the videos if u can maybe see any mites crawling around.. I couldnt.. but I'd love a 2nd or 3rd opinion(s).
Okay, ill most likely order the antibiotics and I'll run to my local tractor supply today for a bigger syringe and...
Oh my god thank you SO MUCH.
And no unfortunately no other birds right now. I have a female pekin duck that was his sister for a while. But she passed away like 6 months ago. 😢 and the landlady eill not allow any more animals. Luckily I am set to move at the end of this month. Getting a house...
I'm not sure why it didn't load.. its saying the file extention isn't allowed..? Or something like that:( idk maybe the file size is too big :( I'll try trimming it and see if I can load it again!
This is the slo mo video I had sent to my friend while he was in the tub to see I'd she could see any motes crawling around.. idk maybe someone can see something I havent..
Please help me!!! It just seems to keep getting worse and worse... and he won't stop preening and scratching... he hasn't eaten much all day either.. please help!!!
Hello! I have a 2 year old canada goose that I care for. He's been with me since a hatchling. Have never had any real issues or illness with him. Although as of abput a week/week and a half ago. His feathers started thinning around the crown of his head. I noticed he was really scratching that...
