That's the dog dose. The poultry dose is *much* higher.

The poultry dose is 125 mg/kg. The math for 330 grams is:
.33 x 125 = 41.25 mg

Since you only have 2 pills, you do not have enough.

I just got my hands on this, I hope it works. It was only bird grit in the shop

That will probably work. I think it has shells in it as well (not the best thing for a young gosling), but hopefully he can leave the shells and pick out the actual pebbles for himself. Most birds are pretty good at picking things out of a mixture.

I was wondering how your gosling was doing? Is he better?
Do you know what kind of goose it is?

There are some other threads about the same gosling, that are a little bit more recent, but nothing final or very recent. It was still alive as of sometime in October of 2023, but was having some new problems at that time.

There is an option to search for threads started by a particular user (I usually find it by hovering my mouse over their username, or clicking on their username to go to their profile and finding the option somewhere on that page.)

If I did it right, this should be a link to all the threads that person has started:
