I don't know if there if there is any creams or oitments to use to safely remove ticks from geese. But there is a way to remove them from dogs and this may work on geese. Hold a cotton swab against the tick for about 30 seconds. Soak the tick. Then squeeze the skin around the tick and remove with tweezers. Then apply some alcohol to the area. I have never tried this but I know others that have had it work.

Ticks can kill your goose and you need to get it off there as quick as you can. Good luck!

We use vinegar to remove ticks from our dog. It works great, pour it on, and after a few minutes the tick is gone. We have bush so an average of 1/2 dozen ticks per year we remove from the dog with vinegar. I don't think it would hurt your goose to try.

a few minutes after I posted this I pulled them off with tweezers but idk if they were ticks they were very very small but they were in the skin its just very odd he seems to be getting a lil better not much but hes up moving around and whistling then he lays back down

You can also try soaking the tick with dish washing soap and then picking it off with your fingernails.

They may have been tiny deer ticks. My cat used to get them on the inner rim of her eyelids. If the skin where they were removed is open, I'd apply a little Neosporin to help it close up.
