Just thought I'd say thanks to those that offered their advise and support to my Chinese gossling. She passed unexpectedly this afternoon. I'm very very upset and sad. I worked so hard to support her needs with the great hope she would turn a corner. Financially, which is really unimportant at...
I was sent a link to a backyard dite for geese and another for poultry vets.
I was given so much info my heads been spinning. All have said its,a nutritional issue or deficiency. She is still quite wobbly but I'm only supplementing in high quantity for 2 days now. She's getting B...
Been here before with great help. I'm back again asking for help.
Need some help and advise on one of my geese/gossling. I've been giving them lots,of niacin and the supplements as recommended by metzgers. Well one is unable to maintain his body weight balance. I think it's his hip muscles...
No visual issues at all except for the weakness in the upper part of leg. I spoke with Metzgers; their advice. Add niacin to water, brewers yeast to food. They hate the taste of the brewers yeast so avoid their dry food. They are now 3 going on 4 weeks so are getting grower pellets now. The...
My 3 week old gossling has a weak leg. Difficulty standing before he/she collapses to a sitting position. Walk and runs but I'm seeing him/her favoring one side. The joint looks a bit swollen. Giving the flock vitamin w niacin from Metzger but don't think it's doingv the trick. He/she swims in...
I think heat stroke and I hadn't any idea he wasn't able to c return to his fan cooled coop until it was too late. Shade is forth coming for that area.
Another thread followup. Someone recommended doxy-tyl. Working well. He is eating independently but is still active g absolutely strange. I have a video but don't know how to attach it to this. He wants to stay up and I think alert but he will take some kibble and the put his head on the and...
A followup. He's been in my tub for 2 days now. He's having difficulty breathing. He sounds phlegm and bubbly every so often when up. Does anyone have doxy-tyl they can spare overnight. Can't find it locally. I have to orally syringe feed him liquid. Using pedialite with a,generic anti biotic...
My big boy is really ill. To narrow it down he can't hold his head up. Is not alert at all. No eating or drinking. Just sleeps. Has mucous coming from nales. Ive been giving him electrolite for some fluids but it has to injected. 20 cc at most. Poop is yellow liquid and a drop of solid...
I've been flocking for about 3 years now. Started with 20 increased up to about 35 or 40. Lost almost everyone I started with and have replaced them several times over. I let them free range. So hawks have gone after them. Opposums and or raccoons Jimmie their way in and picked off a few. With...
