very sick goose *update: she's gone

A vet could do a necropsy to find out what actually caused her death but it sounds like she was in a bad way, I doubt there was much that could have been done to save her. She sounds like a very unique and special goose. She was fortunate that you could be there with her at the end.
 
She was a domesticated white goose that someone dumped at the college years ago and I have been taking cracked corn and seed for them since everyone else feeds them bread and it is normally her and shorty (Pekin duck) and she took such good care of protecting Shorty from the Canadian geese that come and go. I mentioned this because I know there is a chance that they could have brought diseases. She has been fine and I saw No signs of trauma, she was used to the traffic of people jogging and dogs and kids and had a few favorite people and she let the others know that I was HER/HIS human and she got the royal treatment. She would get in my lap and close her eyes and tuck under my arm or her wing. She could she me coming before I got the car parked and be there before I get out. I am going to miss her SO BAD,.!!! I took her to the local vet and they said that they don't treat birds,..(BS)and it was at that time she died in my arms. I was mad and sad so I brought her home and I am full of "what if's" and WHY?? She had a little drainage from her beak and she was opening and closing her mouth really slow and made a small sound and I could tell she was about to die so I scooped her up and took her to my car and had my son drive to the vets. I am dying inside,..I just need some opinions on what could have happened and if I could have saved her??
I have three Roman Tufted , two of them got sick after I gave them cracked corn may be tainted from the feed store , I was and am still feeding then geese flock raiser, they are sluggish walk slow . They have grit etc.ne is unsteady on her feet, why it affects all three . I am not gonna take them to the vet as these are natural beings, I will never give them cracked corn from the feed store again , the other things they are were eating water melon on a hot day. I will give them the best care, I remember how President Eisenhower lost his little ones to infection when there were no antibiotics and how Roosevelt died of hypertension. I am a physician myself but I refuse to have interventions like stents etc , though I take preventive medication. That's life , my favorite boy can die in the military and I cannot launch an investigation unless there was obvious negligence , marines dies in a military plane wreck, shit happens to goose too grew up in the dirty trenches of a ghetto in India , played ball in open sewers , survived malaria and hepatitis and survived a war , riots, survived the pubs in Scotland and then survived Chicago. All I can do is to provide good care to the geese, In the ghetto I survived TB etc by raising chicken on the terrace , feeding them from the garbage dump, ate their eggs for protein and got to eat an old hen for my birthday, even made money by taking my prized monarka rooster to the cock fights behind the mosque in Delhi , the rooster even ate clotted goat blood from the butchers before a cock fight,. Life is rough , that's what I teach my pet geese whom arch with me to the tune of bagpipes in the field, they march like true highlanders , they will live and die like Scottish soldiers--- I will provide these three geese the best living conditions, I removed Coyotes , Foxes from the area, they are locked at night, they have a fenced acre and but they have heavy pesticide spraying around the fence by a mega farmer . I will give them even filtered reverse osmosis water. BUT I cannot love them geese as I love my son, because there is nothing I can love like my son. The best love for a pet geese and my hunting dog was the best care , one died of Cancer?? from chemicals in the dog food, the other Anne the champion bitch ,was run over by a careless truck , but even though it hurts , one can make it up for the loss by being very careful about other pets , get the best food and shelter for these American pets and treat others pets with respect and honor
