I don’t think I did enough for him... but I also think there was more wrong than just his eyes... he still couldn’t stand on his own and I never found him right side up—always on his back, flailing his little feet. he didn’t seem to have any balance, possible crooked neck... perhaps it’s a...
It is with great sadness I type this message, as the Little Niblet is no longer with us... I’m terribly sorry and am so sad just now. I’m at a loss at what to say.. Thank you all for your kind words and advice. Goodbye Little Niblet.
I have taken to calling him Little Niblet and tonight we discovered the soggy crumbles of food and it was ON! I’m not sure if he got more in him or on him, not to mention all over me and the porch too. Lol
niblet doesn’t seem to like any kind of surface EXCEPT grass... and got to hopping and...
a few extra prayers for the little guys never hurts! ;)
Im not seeing any discharge or anything else of concern that I can see.
When I say he seems cold, his feet were cold and he was anxious to snuggle first into my hand, then into a warm towel and stay put for a bit. I let him rest and...
I also wondered if it was possible that his eyes are still developing, but aside from yesterday when I actually witnessed him opening his right eye I’m not seeing a lot of significant changes.
he seems cold this morning and not terrible interested in food. I’m soaking crumbles with pedialyte...
I did give him some pedialyte with some ground up crumbles in it that he really dug. I don’t have any Nutri-Drench but can make a trip to the store tomorrow or Monday to get some.
As of this evening, he was with mama and siblings and being kept warm and protected. The goose who would have...
Thank you again... Did you or have you ever needed to provide him with any kind of care to his eyes? I’ve tried to do a little research but perhaps I’m not looking for the correct terms?? Not finding hardly anything.
I’ve been checking on this little guy every time I come outside... this...
Thank you so Much for the information...
I had put a tiny dab of terramycin on his eye lids, thinking to give him some comfort and I noticed a bit of movement and perhaps a tiny eyeball under the lid on one side. So I put a tiny dab on the other side as well.
sure enough, that’s what it looks...
Not so much.. he’s just 24 hours old and I’ve been checking on him about every 2-3 hours to make sure he’s at least getting his bill in water and this morning, I actually sat him right in the middle of the pan of food and he seemed to nibble a bit, but fell asleep pretty quick.
I had put a...
Hello everyone. I’ve had Chinese geese for a number of years and have hatched a few and my geese have also hatched their own. This time I’ve run into a few issues...too much to type here now, but the nutshell version is that the goose abandoned the nest and the three that were viable and close...
