Sneezing/wheezy Gosling

[EA Geese]

I have a week old gosling, who was found rejected by her mother freezing cold and on her back. She was unable to walk for the first few days we had her, but now wanders around happily. However, definitely has some issues, often running in circles and shaking her head. Recently I have noticed her sneezing a lot and having slight difficulty breathing! Any suggestions on what to do or what might be wrong with her

It sounds like a respiratory infection, which typically requires antibiotics. Do you have access to a vet?

I have the same thing. Gosling found in the cold. Shaking it’s head. Makes a chewing motion. Sounds a little stuffy. Have it in my warm bathroom giving electrolytes and b vitamins.

How are her nasal openings? If they get plugged up that often causes sneezing and head shaking. Be sure she has a water pan deep enough to submerge her entire bill to blow out her nose.

She had some mucus in her nares but is cleared up now. I gave amoxicillin in her water. Still shaking her head but not as much as she was and she is acting much better now.

Good to hear. Sounds like she is on the mend.
