    Squeaking Geese - no parasites

    I agree, thank you! I plan on 3 more rounds of the echinacea/spilanthes, but may go beyond that to be sure to do 3 months. I think that would be prudent.

    Squeaking Geese - no parasites

    Hello all! Here's an update on my geese. As I stated, I didn't think that the oxine was doing anything, but I may be retracting that. I fogged them 3x a day for 6 days. I noticed the gander was beginning to have a bit of eye irritation directly after, so I stopped at 6 days. I had noticed that...

    Thank you so much. I am sorry for the loss of your gander. That's very sad. I shall let you know if I need help with the measuring if I end up using the Tylosin. I really appreciate the wisdom! I'm going to try several rounds of the echinacea and spilanthes and see how it goes. Spilanthes has...

    Oh yes, I'm keeping it. I put it in their drinking water. The article suggested 1/8 tsp per gallon. Plus I'll use it quarterly in the chicken coop and goose hut.

    Squeaking Geese - no parasites

    Update: The Oxine didn't do jack. I called the vet asking for the tyrosin and got pushback on it. She called the lab with a video of my geese squeaking and they said they wouldn't recommend antibacterials at this point, but to use echinacea. Given that I'm an herbalist, I found this intriguing...

    Squeaking Geese - no parasites

    The oxine didn't do anything for my geese. In fact, the squeaking and head shaking is pretty pronounced now. I believe that rules out respiratory issues. The vets here don't know about geese, so I couldn't ask them for advice. I've tried and the gal made a big show of looking at its eyes and...

    Squeaking Geese - no parasites

    Jen, have you seen any improvement? I'm on day 5 and am seeing very little improvement with my geese. I stopped wearing a mask as I have some sort of virus myself and figure it may help me. How long are you spraying into your ducks' faces? I put them in their little 4x4 hut and close off their...

    Squeaking Geese - no parasites

    UPDATE: The Oxine AH came today and as per instructions on the article, I used 3.25 oz in a half gallon of water. I fogged the geeses' faces and their hut. The article said 3x a day, so that's what I'm going to do. The author also states that he puts in 1/8 tsp in the water, which I also did...

    Squeaking Geese - no parasites

    I've been putting in oregano oil in their feed and a couple drops in their water for about a week now. They aren't thrilled, so I halved the amount.

    Squeaking Geese - no parasites

    Thank you! I'm going to see if I can find the oxine and order it. Good info! Whoa! First state vet supply wants $68 to ship one gallon! Cutler supply wants $50 to ship the gallon. What's up with that??? Off chance, I checked amazon. 25 bucks and free shipping. Not a gallon, but I hope I won't...

    Squeaking Geese - no parasites

    Thank you so much for your reply! Do you have the name of the cheaper antifungal med? I can try that and see what happens. I'll try the colloidal silver in their water as well. I'm not sure about the foxtail. I just looked it up and it looks like it would be very irritating. We live in North...

    Squeaking Geese - no parasites

    Thank you so much for this wealth of information! No voice change, no weight loss. Some mucus in the poop, but not always. No foaming from eyes or gurgling in their bellies. They are free to sleep outside or on straw bedding in their little hut. They usually sleep outside. I check the straw...

    Squeaking Geese - no parasites

    Hello everyone. I’m hoping someone with geese experience can help me figure out this conundrum. I need some help with diagnosing a goose issue, please. My goose shakes his head and squeaks. He’s done it off and on since summer. He’s been treated and tested for parasites. Negative on that. He’s...
