Normal gosling behavior?
How is she doing? Hope she's okay still. So glad that you didn't listen to that vet and that she is getting proper help now! -
Normal gosling behavior?
I brought one of mine to the vet on Saturday and also had to stay in the car, it's uncomfortable even when you're not dealing such a serious problem, so I can only imagine when you are :( My goose had an x-ray done at slightly less than 2 weeks of age by a respected avian vet so I don't think... -
Normal gosling behavior?
That is very sad news, I'm so sorry. Was doing an x-ray just so you even know what you're up against not an option at all? Maybe they couldn't do anything but what about an avian surgeon? You are taking such good care of her. I am praying for her as well. -
Normal gosling behavior?
If you do see gapeworms in her throat it can be treated with fenbendazole or ivermectin, which you should be able to get at a feed store or pet store, but I would not feel comfortable administering it without a vet's guidance because if there are very many and they all die suddenly, there is a... -
Normal gosling behavior?
Is she eating/drinking more than usual or just a normal amount? I think that a sudden increase in appetite can actually be a symptom of gapeworm which you mentioned before... the way she is breathing/gulping and shaking her head it would make sense but I was under the impression that gapeworm... -
Normal gosling behavior?
Her poop looks normal to me, their poop does get stinkier as they get older though it shouldn't knock your socks off or anything. When they're little it barely smells but it doesn't stay that way especially when eating a lot of starter/feed. It could still be a yeast infection but I don't know... -
Normal gosling behavior?
That looks like urates to me, but her poop looks very bubbly - I think that can be a sign of a bacterial infection or worms let me double check... -
Normal gosling behavior?
I don't think the dish soap would cause it either I think that's pretty safe for them. I have used it a few times on my (adult) geese with no problems. Lice would totally make sense with the feather loss and irritated vent area but odd that it would continue. Is it possible they're there and you... -
Normal gosling behavior?
Is it possible she ingested something she shouldn't have while outside or have you used any pesticides etc lately? (Again with the cedar thing - some pesticides have a high concentration of cedar that are advertisted as all natural and safe, but could be dangerous for a gosling) I've only used... -
Normal gosling behavior?
The shavings are pine right? Not cedar? Cedar is toxic to them and can sometimes take a couple weeks before the symptoms start showing up and it's a really common mistake, the packaging makes it seem like it's okay for every animal but I have seen goslings die from it sadly. It almost looks like... -
Normal gosling behavior?
The head bobbing my geese do and did as goslings was a lot more subtle. I think it would be considered abnormal, but I'm hoping someone else with more experience chimes in. I don't think it's the heat so much but is she able to get away from the heat just in case? Does she have a sour smell at... -
Normal gosling behavior?
Can you upload it to YouTube and then copy paste the link into a comment here? When my geese sleep, they sometimes slightly bob their heads. They do it more when they’re hot - panting tends to follow. Dramatic head or tail bobbing is definitely abnormal though... Hopefully someone will come...
