I just got three new white campbell (drake and two ducks) and put them together with my two mallards (drake and duck).
They were doing fine together outside, but I noticed that the campbells, especially the drake, is picking on the mallards. Nipping and biting them
They are together for 2 days...
Hey
So my 3-4 months old gander started limping a bit while running and walking
He doesn't like loose balance, but you can notice it while he runs
I checked both of his legs and "knees" and I didn't see anything bad on it. His feets are fine and his legs are as healthy as other geese of mine
I...
Ok, so update after some time. Sorry for not answering but I have zero time these days.
I got from a good friend 5 goslings about three weeks ago. They are, to this day, fine and growing up fast and healthly.
I decided to put the older goose out of her misery, since, as I previously posted in...
He is a way better now
I found a livestock vet that actually know her shit. She gave him some vitamins and antibiotics.
After a week, he is walking, eating, drinking etc. He still has a little problem with balance sometimes, but he is pretty much cured
But one thing had happend.
He now bites a...
Not great. Pretty much the same.
He is a less drunk-like and tries to stand up, just to fall on his back.
I'm giving him a week. If he doesn't get better, I'll mercy kill him..
I'm from Czech Republic (Yes, Czechoslovakia broke up in 90's).
I didn't try any other flushes, but the toxin already affected his nervous system so I think at this point it's useless.
Also vets in my country are mainly interested in dogs and cats, because apparently farm animals don't get sick..
So I wouldn't take her opinion as 100% true
Welcome in post-communist undereducated country comrade
He's getting worse.
He can't stand up without falling on his back or front, he breathes with open mouth and his like breathing pipe(?) On his neck is once it's normal size
He eats but barely drinks, I have to force him to drink, and his head is wobling all around.
Sometimes he falls asleep for a...
I took him to the vet today, even so they are useless in my country, and she told me that it looks like some kind of poisoning.
I think the most probable thing is that he ate a toxic plant that grows on my garden (Buttercup). But the symptoms doesn't match
I think he did.
I found some mold under his drinking dish. I recently replaced it with plastic container and since it's like 30° Celsius during the day, the water became infested with mold.
I replaced it with his old dish (metal bowl) and gave him clean water.
I also mixed a charcoal with water...

So, my goose is acting very strange today. He (I think he is a gander) is falling over and having trouble keeping his balance. He eats, drinks and swims like normally.
Also I have him on niacin supplement and vitamins cause in my country, there is not a single feed with these things in it.
This...
I really think there is no help for her
I tried everything. I let her in water to swim daily, exercise with her, giving her niacin pills and other vitamin supplements for several weeks now.
I think I'll put her out of her misery
She had them about 2-3 weeks
I already went to vet when she was beggining to have these problems.
But vets in my country are.. how to say it.. ****ing idiots. So vet gave her antibiotics and told me she is alright
Update after few weeks:
She is growing, slightly smaller then the ganser. She seemed to getting better, but now again she is struggling with walking.
I'm giving her the niacin and proper feed. I don't know what else to do
