Thank you! I did some massaging before I wrote that post (but it didn't move down, just rotated) . . . and the lump was gone the next day! I wonder what he got into?! Thank you.
One of my geese has a hard, irregular lump more than an inch long (sideways) and maybe half that wide -- a few inches down her neck from the gander above, but on her right side as his is. It was not there 35 hours ago. Thoughts? She is not sick -- seems bright-eyed, etc.
