Gander has swollen vent

[Heatheryfeathery]

My grey Sebastopol gander is 8 weeks old. And look at his vent . I noticed this because he was isolating himself from my three other geese. Two are female, but I don’t know what the biggest goose is because the sexing test didn’t work, but the older geese was plucking at his tail feathers. He’s not picked on all the time and he can hang out with them, but I noticed he was keeping his distance and going off alone back to the goose house. And that’s when I picked him up and his cloaca looks swollen. He seems alert. He seems lively he’s eating, but I’ve noticed liquid stool coming out of him. Any thoughts?

How's he doing? Looks like a slight prolapse. Was he vent sexed? I would just let him be. You could try hemorrhoid creme to see if I helps reduce it.

Sadly, he died. He was small, wasn’t growing and couldn’t walk 25 feet without getting winded. My other hustings are all typically developed. I think he could have had a congenital issue, like cardiac perhaps. His vent did look better. He had period where he seemed to be doing better. Then we had a weekend where the temperatures were in the high 80s. Not normal for my climate in late May early June. He had access to food and water but didn’t seem to be interested. Not interested in bathing either. I checked on him in the morning and by noon he perished. It’s very sad because he was a sweet little guy.
