I can't express how angry I am. I just let my geese out and my father puts down a bucket of oil on the ground where the geese can get to it.

Please help, my goose got into it and put her head into the bucket. The oil went past her eyes, and now I don't know what to do. I've washed off all the oil using the dish soap. I'm not sure if she injested any. I'm worried about her eyes and if she injested it. Please let me know what to do if she starts showing signs of poisoning.

I have some epsom salt that i use when they eat something bad but I'm not sure if that'll work, I also have terramycin for her eyes incase.
 
I'm no goose expert but I know that this is deadly for any poultry. I would inspect the eyes of this goose and that of another that was not affected and see if there's a difference, maybe some bloodshot in the eyes. Also, I would try and offer it some food to see if it will eat it, maybe if it's in the mood to eat it means that it hasn't ingested a deadly amount. You should calling a vet as they might have some kind of charcoal solution to give the bird.
 
Is there any specific kind of activated charcoal I should get. And can you tell me how to make the saline solution
 
Instead of using saline solution try using baking soda as it is heavy in salt, try mixing two teaspoons into a cup of water and tasting it to make sure it's not overly salty but just enough to where you can taste it.
