I was just thinking when I was doing dog obedience trials I gave my dachshund some peanut butter an about chocked him to death. First an last time for that.

it had a stroke from what a vet said so i don’t know what to do

I just wanted to say this in the hope it puts you at ease, while a stroke is a serious medical issue, she has a better chance at recovery than if it was metal poisoning like I originally thought.
From what I’ve seen myself, birds can amazingly bounce back from neurological damage with time and care.
Sadly organ damage from metal poisoning isn’t so easy to fix, and in many cases it usually isn’t.
She has a better chance at recovery and that’s the important thing.

I’m so sorry for what happened to your poor dachshund!

 

[Miss Lydia]

Me too, that was many years ago and he recovered thankfully. Just really hard to get a dog to drink water if he doesn’t want too even if it will help him.

If the object is still in the crop, then that would be a bad thing, it’s better that the regurgitate whatever they swallowed. Once it’s in their digestive system the aim is to remove it as quickly as possible, the vet advised anything to push it through when my gander was showing signs of zinc toxicity, sometimes unfortunatly only surgery can remove it if it’s a large object.

I was under the impression that being in the crop would be a good thing, given that little digestive activity goes on in the crop, after it passes through the proventriculus the metal starts to release toxins due to the hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen, and that most internal puncture wounds occur in the ventriculus due to the strong grinding motion.

Exactly what I’ve heard, if it’s still in the crop giving them something to make it pass into the digestive track would be a bad thing, if it’s already in the digestive tract trying to get it out as fast as possible is important.
From what I’ve read about zinc toxicity though, high levels of zinc slows down their digestion and can cause them to become constipated, so forcing them to eat anything “goopy” or fibrous is dangerous because it could just compound the problem, but on the other hand they need something fiberous or “goopy” to push whatever it is out. A rock and a hard place situation.
When my gander wasn’t passing any food I was giving him only berries and fruit to eat, “honestly it was the only thing he would attempt to eat anyway,” really high water content food to try and keep his system moving, I also gave him dandelion and moringa powder in his water, both of those worked as a laxative for him and he was feeling a little better afterwards.

Yep, I have the same information. . Once it passes into the digestive tract oral chelation therapy can be administered, I've also her of surgeries using magnets to get the metal.

@Supertive How is your goose doing?

she is doing better but still has bad balance at times and her neck is always behind her body whilst walking or running, but when she grazes in the yard she can bend down fine and eat which is very good so i don’t know what else to do

I am praying for you and your goose. Truly hope she makes a recovery
