My Chinese white Goose, Lucy, has just started molting a couple days ago. Picked her up just to give her a look over today and noticed that the skin on her knob is loose and somewhat wrinkling around the base. This concerns me greatly as I'm thinking it could mean dehydration? She has plenty of fresh water both in a converted sandbox and also a separate bucket. Just very concerned that something might be wrong.
 
Just wanted to update and say that I think the reason she was looking so poorly was because she was at the beginning of starting her molt. 2 months later and she is looking absolutely beautiful and acting normal again.
