Tonight while I was taking my dog to go to the bathroom I heard the distress calls of a mother trying to protect her baby. I assumed she was okay so I just went back to my dog. Next thing I knew what looked to me from far away like a hawk and I saw the parents pecking at it as it flew to the...
Oh they are madly in love with the other goose (Margaret) preening Herbert and were about to go to the feed store for some penicillin and some veterycin! They are so happy and whenever I took Herbert his parents weren't upset at all so him and his new friend will hopefully imprint on each other...
I just brought Herbert and the goose with the broken leg home. I put them both in the kiddy pool and they absolutely fell in love with each other. They each copy whatever the other one ones and Herbert is following the other goose. And yes the goslings are from my geese. The other one got...
The little gosling (Herbert) had the fang marks through the thin webbing of his feet so the venom couldn't have entered in and the gosling with the broken leg is swimming around in the kiddy pool this morning and doing A LOT better than she was last night at the pond! She's walking better and we...
One of my goslings down at my pond (one of about 30 geese) is an only gosling to his parents and he has a heart of gold. I have known him for about 1 month and 1 week now and he is about the size of a 1-2 week old gosling. This little gosling whom I named Herbert actually comes to me when I call...
I own a pond and about 30 geese in all behind my house. One family of geese has a batch of six 1.5 month old goslings who are almost full grown. Because there are snapping turtles in the pond that frequent other lakes around my pond and then come to mine we see many foot injuries on the babies...
Thank You SO MUCH for these replies. I will go down to the pond and get him tomorrow. Also I was wondering if you have a goose with an infection in its foot (two wounds) should I take it to a rescue? Also there is really no way to get rid of the snappers. They are usually not aggressive towards...
I have a pond behind my house (legally owned) where my geese stay. There is a goose that is about 1/3 to 1/4 the size he should be and he is 1 month old. He is an only baby and I don't know whether or not I should bring him into the house with me to administer some starter/grower food and help...
There is a pond located behind my house and there is a 1 month old baby duckling (NO SIBLINGS) that is just not growing barely at all. There are a few ducklings that belong to a different family that were born about two and a half weeks after him and they are now the same size as him and one is...
They will actually continue to happen throughout their lives and it will probably last quit a while depending on how rapid their development is. They only have pain with pin feathers whenever they are touch because they can feel them while they are still purple (full of blood) one the sheath...
There are many different reasons this can happen and I would recommend taking her to an avian or exotic veterinarian to help her get better.
Thank you so much for your are and concern for this little silky and I'm sure it appreciates your kind heart more than you could ever imagine!
Remember...
She definitely needs to go to a veterinarian immediately! discolored droppings can indicate so many diseases and bacterial infections or viruses. If she is not eating or drinking it's a pretty serious affair and the veterinarian can most likely provide her with everything she needs to be normal...
