    Gosling with a severed foot.

    That entire thing was scab that had callused and was necrotic. I had to soften it with water every day to eventually pry it off. So, basically the destroyed tissue died and fell off and new healthy tissue replaced it.....it is hard to explain.

    Hobart is doing great! He is in his forever home and has a loving family and a goose partner to spend his life with! As you can see the foot that was once so horrible has healed nicely!!! This is so amazing.

    Urg. I just did a dressing change and noticed an area under Hobarts wing that was scabbed and tender. I went to open the bluekote and "FLAP!"...bottle spills all over my hands face legs.... Not to mention Hobart. Is there any thing I should be concerned with regarding bluekote overload? We...

    Gosling with a severed foot.

    Nope, not sure if he is a boy or a girl.....but definitely a Hobart. I have been told he is most likely an Embden...but I have no idea. I am going to try making one of these water bags for his area for him to cool off on if it gets to be too hot. It is made of plastic sheeting sealed...

    Thanks for all of your kind words and advice! He's doing much better tonight! I started playing classical music for him while I change bandaged and re-dress the wounds. It makes it easier on both of us! He also had a house call from his vet to make sure things were looking good. He can...

    Tonight may be a rough night. They needed to removed all of the scabs on both wounds. Only a portion of the foot scab could be removed. He's on antibiotics and anti inflamatory medications. I also have to give him a treatment twice a day that involves spraying water directly into the wounds...

    Here is a streaming camera on Hobart. I am taking him to the vet this afternoon, but this is the set up i have while he is recovering. He has a mirror to chat with, and he can see our other ducks from his area. I don't want to leave him alone with my ducks during the day just yet. Im still...
