Goose problem

Thank you for your thoughts. There are no sores on Gaby's feet and he is almost walking normally today. There is a pocket on his dewlap (see photo) that has a small opening and appears to be filled with corn. I tried irrigating with warm saline and tried to dig some of it out without much success. It's hard to tell if he's eating because his usual behavior is to honk continuously while everyone else eats.View attachment 3648011

Yeah he’s a good gander looking out for everyone. He’s making sure everyone else gets to eat

if there’s corn in there you’re just going to need to work on getting it out, it might take a few tries because geese are squirmy.

I’ve heard of geese with dewlaps getting impacted food in their chin sacks, if you can’t get it cleared you might need a vet to get a look at it, they might be able to sew it up to prevent it happening again.

Yeah I’m not sure, it looks like an alien growth. My guess is it’s probably an infection, especially if it just showed up over the last few days.
some cancers can be fast growing but usually they take longer than that.

But she sees corn in there so make me think it has to be coming from his mouth?
A few years back a member had a goose that got a piece of wood stuck under his tongue and it came out of his skin Maybe something like that happened and food is dropping into this sac like thing.

You’re probably right.
