Gosling’s nose clogged?

[Chickeroonie keeper]

I just got my shipment of 2 goslings this morning, and it looks like one of them may have a clogged nose. Let me know what you think- and if it’s clogged, how do I fix this?

Is that black gunk in the gosling's nares? I'd immediately provide a water source deep enough for the gosling to dip its bill into, but not big enough for it to get its body into, so it can try to clear whatever that substance may be.

Have you noticed anything else with the gosling, like unusual breathing?

Thanks for the reply! I just gave access to water and the issue seemed to resolve itself

That's great to hear. Enjoy your goslings!

Hi, im babysitting a gosling and it seems that one of his nostrils is blocked with a similar black gunk although its not on the surface its rather deep in and water doesnt seem to be resolving the issue. He acts completely the same but i can hear a slight weezing coming from his blocked nostril. Do you have any advice.

All I can offer is give deep water enough that he can drench the nose to clear on its own and vet RX available at most feed stores works well to open the passages and stop the weasing.. it has camphor oil in it and I put it all over there beek.
