My favorite goose has been acting odd the last couple of days. She's almost a year old, hasn't started laying but nervous about being eggbound. She won't eat (we changed the food but she won't even eat the scratch) although seems to attempt to graze. She'll eat wood and drinks a little but mostly she just stands still and rests. I can tell she just doesn't feel well.

She can't move fast and seems to have no energy to keep up with the flock. She has just straight water (and a lot) for droppings but I have noticed almost black diarrhea in their coop.

She's still vocal. Just doesn't want to interact much and won't let me near (she's normally very cuddly). I can see her breathing (from her back) but it doesn't seem labored? Her one eye seems a little congested and she keeps it closed. She does keep shaking her head.

I'm very worried it might be internal bleeding somehow as she got into some staplers a month or so ago but I don't know if she actually ate any. She also eats old plywood.

There is no vet in our area.
