So I did not end up going to the vet yesterday with her. I brought her inside and after an hour or 2 the coughing stopped entirely so I cancelled the vet appointment. Since then I have been trying to keep her off the straw bedding and have only heard her cough probably twice. I am going to...
Hello, my pet goose started coughing and sneezing around one week ago. It started out as just a cough here and there, not too bad so I thought she would just get better on her own but this morning she has been coughing and sneezing into her water bowl nonstop. She is in a warm and dry area with...
No my vet is not experienced with birds. I have called a vet with some experience but she is not in until Friday. The lump on the inside of her leg just feels like bone. I think it might just be the shape of her hock. The swelling is on the front and outside of the joint. I have been keeping her...
Hello, one of my geese has injured herself. I am not quite sure how but she has been hopping on one leg for the last 2 1/2 weeks. I took her to the vets and they took x-rays. Everything looks good on the x-rays apart from some swelling around her hock joint.
They prescribed:

Hey guys, does anyone know if it is possible for older birds to get angel wing while regrowing feathers after a molt. I have a four year old goose who’s feathers are coming in a little weird looking this year but wasn’t sure if angel wing is even a possibility once they are grown.
Hi everyone, well I tried the Epsom salt soaks and triple antibiotic cream but it didn’t seem to be helping so I tried iodine and then preparation H but it just seems to be getting worse. I have ordered tricide neo online however it is going to be around 2 weeks before it gets here so today I...
Hello, yes I have been applying a triple antibiotic ointment to her feet at night since I saw it but I guess I should start bandaging her feet so as to keep it on longer. If it is bumblefoot will the epsom salt soaks and antibiotic ointment clear it up or will I have to get the scab out? Thanks...
Hello, around two weeks ago my duck skinned her toe and now it looks like this. Do you guys think it could be bumblefoot or just a normal scab healing her cut. There is no swelling or redness and it doesn’t really look black but more of a red brown. She is not limping either.
I am not feeding any treats right now, just her normal feed but she is free ranging so could be eating anything really. I wormed her tonight just in case.
Hello, I noticed last week that my duck had pink poo. I inspected the poo and couldn’t see any worms but am getting her a worm dose just in case. She is in with a goose who doesn’t seem to have any pink poo and they free range most days. Since last week I hadn’t seen any more pink poo until...
Hello, I too have a goose suffering from arthritis and wanted to start her on glucosamine and Chondroitin. I got the human version in powder form however have no clue what dose I should be giving. How much do you guys recommend? Thanks
