My three year old male goose Eric has not been well for awhile. I thought it was just his personality, wanting to speed a good part of the day by himself, but still interacting with the other geese.
I noticed that he started looking quite thin a few months ago and that his poops were not a rich green as they should have been. He appeared to be eating grass, treats, doing normal goose things, but just mostly by himself.
In the past few weeks he seems not to want to eat grass, or even passes on the morning grapes and scratch. He will nibble on whatever I hand him but seems only to take a bit just to be polite.
He hangs out right outside the doorway or in my golf cart, anywhere to be near us.
I have been giving electrolytes, pro and pre biotics lately to all the chickens and geese due to the heat. I have his own bowl next to the door that I keep fresh every morning that I treat but he does not seem to want to drink from that bowl, but seems to prefer the untreated bowl of water.
His bill has always been a more yellow that orange, but I think it is getting lighter yellow.
His poops have become quite watery, loose and tan colored. The attached photos is what I came home to today. Very worried and not sure what to do.
