Hi guys,
I couldn't find good info on this so I thought I'd start a new thread.
As many of you know, I am caring for a disabled goose who cannot stand or walk. She started panting a lot recently so we tried to remove any potential causes. One thing we removed is her paper-based bedding thinking the dust from it might make things worse. Coincidentally she still pants but less than before, unclear if it is due to the bedding removal.
For now we have been using towels and sheets which do not absorb odour or water super well. She cannot move away from her poop so anything more absorbent would help out a lot. We try to remove the poop a few times per day but it is still uncomfortable for her. The paper based bedding was great for that as it covered the poop and she could push it away with her tail and paw, but it does have more dust.
Any ideas?
