goose dying of cold?

[HeatherLynn]

Ok so asked my mom if she had been checking her babies since usually I raise them for her. She said last time she did they made a mess with their water. She walked off and forgot to clean things up. Went back and one was soaking wet, cold and a bit lifeless. Its moving now, I got some warm sugar water down it, its still drying. What else can I do. I never had this happen to one before. Time for me to take over goose raising again I guess. Any helpful suggestions would be great. I don't know what else to do

Yes definately take over the chores! I rescued one once that was lifeless in a pool of water! Get it warm and dry with a hairdryer set on low. Thye seem to like it! Then keep it warm and dry and give some electrolytes in the water...he should be fine if he doesnt catch anything from the chill! Good luck!

Lol I always did before but with 4 kids I decided to let her try. Not doing that again
