sick goose

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...

Hey all, something really weird just happened with my goose Ryan, he's about a yr and a half old Canada goose. I was just making him his dinner, duck feed, a little cracked corn and oats and I topped it off with some meal worms. He gets that for dinner pretty much every day. I set it down and...

How to make sure the goose swallow the pill/tablet without spitting it out while making it safe so that the pill/tablet doesn't accidentally go into the glottis? We've been having trouble holding the goose still even with three people - the goose always utilizes its long neck to try to...

We're giving our gander a tablet medication. Although he didn't like it or had even spit out the tablet, the past few times still succeeded eventually. The most recent one, however, seemed different. When he spit the tablet out, there's something regurgitated as well. Is this normal? If not...

The gander was eating normally until yesterday (Aug. 4). Yesterday, he ate much less than normal (sudden loss of appetite) and had severe head-and-neck-forward gaping multiple times. Today (Aug. 5), he hasn't eaten much, either, and still has gaping. I gave him water mixed with Sav-a-Chick...

My african goose, female, little over a year old is....off. She started molting about 2 weeks ago, still is mid way through. I noticed she looked smaller about 4 days ago, then 2 days ago I realized she wasn't eating. I think shes lost a few pounds, keel is very obviously felt. She is acting a...

I have a gander named Tiny. About a week ago he started limping and one leg was swollen. I made sure he rested. The next morning he was no longer limping and walking around. I soon realized he couldn't run with the other geese and was slower than them, I also noticed he is also laying down more...

Hi guys, first post here! Great community y’all have. We have 18 laying hens right now that we move around the yard in a Chickshaw. We also have one 3 month old male Pilgrim goose that lives with the chickens for protection. Usually in the mornings he is one of the first ones out of the...

Hi Everyone, I am wondering whether anyone can tell me -- can my domestic geese (Sebastopols) recover from AI/carry it without showing symptoms? My gander died a little over a week ago from an unknown cause (lethargy, no eating, excessive drinking, webs of feet turning purple, coughing up water...

I have a new pair of French Toulouse Goslings, about 1.5 weeks old. My male, Henry, has a large, hard lump on his right side close to his upper chest/lower neck. It feels like a cyst, but I’m not sure. He’s eating and drinking water. He’s not as active as his partner, Eloise. I’m going to the...

When I was leaving to go out of town last Thursday I went to go say goodbye to my gander, Goose, who is 4 years old and he was squeaking. He's gradually lost his voice a bit and not honking well. He's eating. There's no discharge from his nose. It's been pretty hot here and he and his sister...
