I have a goose, seen in pic, has a few good days then he ends up like this amd we have to go set him up and shortly after he falls over again. This is like your goose that you had to cull?
Yea its the bad thing about saving up to buy a house in one the country's worse real estate area's. And i cant stay in MT for work, im a union electrician thats indentured, also the benefits are too good to leave.
Worst part is, I have to leave Friday back to Seattle for work, and wont be back until Xmas time. Hopefully Crash will still love me when I get back or remember me.
I will be able to talk to her with camera....2 way mic, but I dont think it would be fair for her to hear my voice and not get...
Thursday night the puppy cam arrives, and some cat5 cable. So im running it from the house to the condo so we can constantly check on them with an app.
Hard to say. I don't think the blindness helps, but it seems seperate from the partial blindness.
Last night he slept with me in the guest bed. He sleeped for several hours at a time. Which is a huge improvment from him waking up every 30 mins.
Before heading to bed my wife took him into the...
She is finding me the info on tbe calcium deficiency.
Also this is his right eye that has been bothering him. He rubs it over and over on his feathers. After taking that pic we rinsed his eye with a sterile eye relief eye wash and those white things came out like boogies.
So we are thinking Bash might have a calcium deficiency. Because he grew rapidly compared to Crash, and my wife was reading it can lead to weak legs, inward feet and hard to control neck...so we are giving him some oyster shells from the feed store that is rich in calcium.
I can add the cloth.
So when Bash tries to lay down and sleep he starts crying and panicking and leans WAY back and falls over. OR he tries to sleep standing up and falls down onto his back which leads to the first part of him crying and panicking. He has been so exhausted to the point of you...
When the wife and i rescued our goslings, who imprinted on us, we kept them in a seperate room and not around us 100% of the time. throughout the day we would spend time with them outside letting forage or in that room cuddling. We kept them pretty independent to not 100% need our presence but...
Sigh. Just went out and checked on them. Both of them were upside down. Crash was all good as soon as i set her up right, but Bash needed some cuddles and tucked back into bed.
In their nesting box I have a blanket in U shape that I place him into, so he has the blanket to support him on all...

I have one that loves being held and another that doesnt unless im holding her with her head out and making helicopter noises.
but like Goosebaby said it can be a vary of different reasons
Sorry for the delayed response. Been really busy around the in-laws ranch.
Anyways Bash & Crash are doing good. They are growing so fast. We have them on proper Gosling food, terramycin, eye droplets from the vet, save-a-chick electrolytes in one water jug, regular water in another and fresh...
