Hello, I have a 3 going on 4 year old toulouse goose, I purchased her and her sister about 2 years ago. I was told that they were both female but I haven't to see any eggs... Here in Kentucky is has been hot and humid this summer (and everysummer) but this week it has been extremely hot durring the day reaching mid 90s and at night upper 60s, low 70s. Yesterday it reached 98.She has been mouth breathing the last few days but I thought it was due to the heat. They have lots of water and shade and grass. When I get home from work I let them out to "free range" and go to the small pond in the back yard. This morning around 7:45am I went out to check on everybody, and she was laying on the ground and would not stand, she is drinking water and eating but breathing heavy. Her head is up high and proud but I noticed that her left eyes has foam in the corner They are on a diet of a grain mix that I get from a local feed store that was recommended by other local farmers for poultry (last 2 or 3 months)plus grass, and they get to split a cucumber in the evenings. They don't seem to like the chicken layer crumbs so I dont think they have been eating the chicken feed. Before that they were eating a goose/duck food from chewy but didn't really like it, plus the grass and cucumber. I'm wondering if this could be a niacin issue or maybe an upper respritory or some type of vitamin/mineral issue? Her sister and my male goose are perfectly fine and no issues with the chickens other than lately I've gotten some weird eggs but I thought maybe that was due to heat stress. I got all 3 of my geese as adults who had not been handled so they can be a little difficult. As far as I can tell they are all healthy weight and the poop is normal. The geese and chickens were dewormed and treated for upper respritory infection in June. (Symptoms were only in the chickens the vet said it was safe to treat all the birds though. We moved to our new house and the chickens got stressed then started sneezing/coughing) they were dewormed with panacure and treated with tylan powder and haven't had anymore issues. I've been alternating baking soda and rooster booster vitamins and electrolytes with lactobacillus every 2 to 3 days (fresh water daily but cycling the additives). I saw that adding baking soda to the water helps in extreme heat. I'm not very experienced, everything I have been doing I've researched online. The vets in my area don't treat birds other than dewormer and antibiotics. I don't know what to do. Thanks for any help!
I just went out to check on her and she threw up water????
