Goose bump on cheek

[MJJenson]

Is this an abscess? Will it heal on its own?

 

[Wicked Storm]

It will heal on its own eventually, mine do get that sometimes. I usually treat them with Tylan 50 if I feel necessary along with a probiotic. if you want I'll give you the dosage

How do I know if it's bad enough to treat? She's 5 weeks old, maybe 6 lbs.

Wicked Storm gave great advice, it will more than likely heal on its own. It looks like a reaction to a bug bite or maybe she got a little cut that’s infected. If it gets any worse then it should probably be looked at and treated, for now I’d say sit and watch what it does. The main thing is to watch her overall symptoms, if she’s acting completly normal it’s probably a minor thing that will clear up on its own.

The most important thing with anything is to do your own research and do what you think is best based on that though.

Yeah this is true, keep us updated!! Most likely it's just filled with fluid and will release it on its own.

Will do! Thank you for the supportive advice. Totally new to poultry and this goose is most interesting, for sure!

Need to treat with the Tylan 50, what does do you recommend? She's almost 6 weeks and a Toulouse-Embden hybrid I'm told

Have you tried draining it?

We decided to wait on it. It looks a little better tonight. Our local farming friend (doesn't know waterfowl) had a few places things for us to think about. Do you work your geese?

Not sure I understand your question, I have geese if that's what you mean.
