2 year old goose cannot stand

Check her eyes and nares for discharge. Looks like some I've seen with respiratory infections. Also check the feathers on her back where she been rubbing her head.

Did ya'll look in her mouth once a member found a piece of a stick under the tongue of her goose it had somehow got lodged in there. I know grasping at straws but might as well check out every possibility

I do have some amoxicillin, 250 mg. Do you think I could try giving that to her in the food? I have read that an ear ache or sinus infection may be helped by this med.

@casportpony ??

How much amoxicillin do you have? The avian dose is huge, so you'd have to have many pills.

A seven pound goose would get amoxicilin at no less that 400mg twice a day for 7-14 day. Please call your vet and talk to hem about the possibility of an ear infection.

Another thing... all pills should be given orally, not in food.

I have plenty of antibiotic. I will talk to the vet on Monday and hopefully get her in
