    Help! My goose is injured

    I have no experience, but if possible, please find a vet. The vet will likely trim the bill to prevent further tearing and administer antibiotics to prevent infections. As she seems in pain, the vet might also give pain medication. For now, try your best to keep the bill from being further...

    Goose sudden death with a lot of blood coming out from the nostrils

    Thank you. I'm sorry for your loss, too. I'll update once I get the necropsy results, too.

    (Also like to learn from duck parents) Goose sudden death with a lot of blood coming out from the nostrils

    Posting this goose post here, too, as the duck parents might share some knowledge and experience of health cases both ducks and geese might have. I have some photos of the goose after he passed away, but I'm still not ready to post them due to grief. The goose was Duckling the goose, for those...

    Goose sudden death with a lot of blood coming out from the nostrils

    Posting it here so that people might share some knowledge and experience. I have some photos of the goose after he passed away, but I'm still not ready to post them due to grief. The goose was Duckling the goose, for those of you who know him. He's 6 years old. Although he had some respiratory...

    Help, my 1 yo male goose is suddenly acting dizzy. He is eating and drinking, but losing his balance and did fall a couple times. Though he still

    Not sure if it helps, but maybe you can check this page before a vet is available: http://www.majesticwaterfowl.org/diagnostic%20chart.htm @Goosebaby @Jenbirdee @JRies @fowltemptress

    Help!!! Sick goose!

    Where is she staying? Just to rule out some issues, make sure she's not staying somewhere moldy (sometimes mold hides under the bedding or carpet).

    Help!!! Sick goose!

    How do her feet look? Do they look paler than usual? How about the bill? Does it look paler than usual? If so, it might be a heart issue. If it's a heart issue, it can be bacterial or non-bacterial. If possible, take her to the vet for diagnosis and treatment. Also make sure the temperature is...

    Help!!! Sick goose!

    Have you tried adding a little sugar to the water? Normally I don't add sugar to water, but it sometimes makes a sick goose drink more.

    Help!!! Sick goose!

    Does she have other symptoms? Gaping? Difficulty breath? Frequent head shaking? Frequent nasal cleaning? If so, depending on the pathogen (bacteria, fungi, etc.), different antibiotics might be used. Check http://www.majesticwaterfowl.org/diagnostic%20chart.htm @Goosebaby @Jenbirdee @JRies...

    Baby Chinese goose not walking unless I help her move by gently picking her up and pushing her butt. She takes a few steps then falls

    What's the temperature where she is? Goslings need higher temperatures than adult geese. Some individuals are more vulnerable to low temperature than the others. What's the humidity where she is? It shouldn't be too humid. Too high humidity might lead to fungi infection. What kinds of vitamins...

    Lice or something else?

    Found a few of these on my geese relatively recently. Are they lice or something else? Here are the photos of one of them:

    Sick gosling - getting worse fast

    Then don't take them there. Make sure the temperature is high enough for a gosling (refer to http://www.majesticwaterfowl.org/mmissue111.htm ). Some goslings get sick easily when it's too cold. Make sure the air is dry enough (in case it's a fungal issue). Still, always keep clean water...

    Sick gosling - getting worse fast

    If possible, take the baby to a vet. Things like Doxy-Max can help fight bacteria, but if it's fungi, you need anti-fungal kind of medicine (FYI, anti-fungal medicine can have strong side effect, so you'll probably not want to use it if it's not a fungal issue). Sorry can't help...

    Gander seems sick again with gasping - what to do?

    Thanks. I'll be persistent 😊

    Gander seems sick again with gasping - what to do?

    Indeed. I'll try eating foods that are also safe for humans in front of them. What's funny is that my geese saw me eat cooked chopped/shredded chicken and/or duck meat and wanted to try some, too. 😅 Of course I didn't let them eat it. I tried putting a waterfowl pellet into my mouse and...

    Gander seems sick again with gasping - what to do?

    Update after the vet visit on January 2nd: The vet said he was great, and no infection was found. The vet saw how the gander ate the grass seeds real time. She suspected a sharp seed irritated his sinus, causing the previous symptoms. Like many of you said, the vet also doesn't recommend...

    Gander seems sick again with gasping - what to do?

    We'll get racks to have more trays planted. We offered one tray of grown grasses today, but it had been eaten out quickly (probably by the other two geese in the flock). We have enough seeds, just not enough space with warm temperatures. The racks will improve the situation. I won't mix the...

    Gander seems sick again with gasping - what to do?

    Update: Around 12:10 AM on January 1, we tried giving him 150 mg Doxycycline but only succeeded with 100 mg. Around 12:00 PM on January 1, we gave him 150 mg Doxycycline. He gaped and had hiccups a little time after being given the medicine. We're not sure if it's because of our bad medicine...

    Gander seems sick again with gasping - what to do?

    We're in the Portland, Oregon metro area. I can get grains easily from farm stores (it's just that the geese never eat much of them, so I don't buy them frequently). I wonder if it's possible to find a local mill to do some customized feed that's close to the old recipe the geese ate. My friend...
