Constipated goose?

[ElGoose]

One of my year old geese seems to be constipated - it looks like he keeps straining to poop but can’t. I haven’t really seen any other signs of discomfort and he seems to still be eating and drinking but I want to check just incase.
I don’t have an avian vet by me that can handle this sadly so I’m going to have to see if I can help him myself.

Earlier he strained and it looked like a bit of liquidy poop came out, but then continued straining so I think there may be a serious blockage.
There seems to be a lobe that extends up to his rear end unevenly which looks pretty bad. He’s known for being a greedy goose so I’m worried he’s swallowed something large and it’s stuck there somewhere…

The lobe isn’t anything to worry about, it’s how geese store their fat.
You could try to give him a little acv in his water to boost his water intake and help him pass whatever it is.

Beyond that constipation in geese can be caused by a parasitic infection like coccidia or giardia or by an intestinal infection like clostridium.
Coccidia can be treated with corid, metronidazole will treat giardia and clostridium perfringens which is the most likely strain to cause issues in birds.

Thank you so much!!!
