Goose with neuro or tumor problem

[frelima]

My three year old emden gander has been getting more and more unsteady- his chest has been growing and growing over the months- now he cannot walk and just flops around. He seems sort of paralyzed on the right side.
One wing droops and when he tries to walk it is sort of like someone who has had a stroke- until he ends up on his side flailing.
He got much worse this week, and I have him in a dog cage, but I feel that euthanasia is the answer.
Should I do it the way I process meat chickens? (cut corortid) Any ideas?
Thanks!
Julie

I would think you would do it the same way. I'm sorry that you have to go through this. I know this is a hard thing to do.

good luck. hugs.

Yep, same was as you do meat chickens. And I would dispose of the body carefully if you are not sure what the problem is.

Thank you. He is the same- eats and drinks, but just falls over when not held up by the sides of the dog kennel.
The other one looks so regal and handsome and I am giving this one a bath every day to keep his dignity up.
