Geese Attacked..... Bite wounds

[krazynoklahoma]

My geese were attacked by something and they both have bite wounds.. the wounds are not very big but they are still bite wounds. one goose is up and walking around but the other will not. They are both eating and drinking, but I've no idea what to do for them.

Can you get them somewhere quiet and try and get the wound cleaned and put some anti-biotic ointment on them. They should have some electrolytes in their water as well.

If they look like punctures it was probably a dog. Waterfowl are very resistant to infection, but I'd still treat with penecillin. 1 CC per day into the thigh would be a good place to start. Do the wounds need stitched up? Goose skin tends to tear when punctured I've noticed.
