I have also used Thieves putting it in my pot sitting on the wood stove. Now I am very leery about giving her anything by mouth with out we know for sure it's safe water fowl can be very sensitive to many things. But if you have a humidifier you could put some in it and let it gently fall over her head so she is inhaling it. I use Oxine ah in the same way except i use a spray bottle on fine mist and mist it over the tops of my flocks when I put them up for the night maybe 1X a month when it isn't freezing. Since Eucalyptus helps break up congestion it may help her alot. What you are seeing with her lobes is normal my young goose looks the same way. Have you tried giving her a warm wet mash? making it fairly soupy and put a dash of ACV in it? if not then make a small amount first and see it it entices her to eat. you can try the other things fruit etc but my geese are pretty picky about what they like, grapes if sliced they will eat never have they even tried apple when I've put it out. Shredded romaine lettuce in their water may look yummy to her.I know it's hard when your the care giver to go when you want ,you have been doing a great job with her, TLC has kept her going. Oh and carrots mine will eat if shredded and mixed with greens potatoes I haven't given mine She is so precious and very blessed to have you for her care giver. I wonder how long this had been going on with her?I hope soon it will be a thing of the past for you both.Thanks islandgirl ! I will try to keep more Thieves on hand and use it as you've mentioned, since vinegar alone doesn't kill germs.
I'm sure it is unpleasant but right now it's necessary so just carry on.Thank you Miss Lydia and servpolice - for the clarification on her anatomy and droppings. I will offer her wet mash and shredded carrots. Managed to get a little bit of fresh grass. She's a bit active but is leery of me - being syringe fed is not pleasant for her and she's associated me with it I'll add Thieves to the humidifier and place it close to her; hopefully she'll like it as much as lavender.
