Hi Everyone,
I am wondering whether anyone can tell me -- can my domestic geese (Sebastopols) recover from AI/carry it without showing symptoms? My gander died a little over a week ago from an unknown cause (lethargy, no eating, excessive drinking, webs of feet turning purple, coughing up water & mucus, labored breathing, clear nasal & oral discharge). My younger female goose had similar symptoms (the first three I mentioned) at least a week before the gander got sick, but she recovered. The older female has not shown any symptoms at all.
Now I am wondering if I should have the females tested for AI just in case. I'd hate to get them a new mate only to have him die too! Any advice?
Thanks so much!
