    (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...

    Gander seems sick again with gasping - what to do?

    We don't know what happened to the goose. Any help is highly appreciated. The gander has gasping and gaping from time to time, and sometimes after gasping, he spits some liquid out (can't tell if it's water or something else) (vomiting?). We haven't seen him eating since this gasping symptom...

    Goose doesn't seem right after heat stroke

    On August 13th, around 18:30 PDT, the goose got heat stroke. Tried to cool her down (we put some ice cubes but not too many). The goose drooped the wings and breathed heavily (panting?). Later, it took 2~3 hours for the goose to look slightly better (floating in the water with head up). Even...

    Gander not eating, temporarily no vet access

The gander previously had fungus infection long time ago (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/help-needed-gander-seems-sick-with-severe-gaping.1542210/), so the fungus infection might or might not have...

    Giving goose medication - concern

    We're giving our gander a tablet medication. Although he didn't like it or had even spit out the tablet, the past few times still succeeded eventually. The most recent one, however, seemed different. When he spit the tablet out, there's something regurgitated as well. Is this normal? If not...

    Help needed: gander seems sick, with severe gaping

    The gander was eating normally until yesterday (Aug. 4). Yesterday, he ate much less than normal (sudden loss of appetite) and had severe head-and-neck-forward gaping multiple times. Today (Aug. 5), he hasn't eaten much, either, and still has gaping. I gave him water mixed with Sav-a-Chick...

    Sudden knob color change - frostbite?

    The knob was black in the morning. After coming back from work, I saw the spot on its knob as in the photo. Did the goose suffer from frostbite? What should I do? (The vet won't be back for a while.)

    Gander weak, not eating, cannot stand

    Having a gander of approximately 4-5 months old. It had a toenail broken earlier this week and had blood lost. The blood stopped eventually, but as it sometimes raises its foot with the broken nail, I think it hurts to him. Today, the gander could walk earlier, but since a few hours ago, its...
