Gosling pooping bubbles and something that looks like maybe worms? She is eating, drinking and walking fine. She looks and acts healthy.

If you do get the SMZ TMP don’t feed her the gerber baby food while she’s taking it, you can’t mix SMZ TMP with any concentrated sources of potassium like bananas or banana based baby food.

I have no idea on the weight. She isn’t losing any and she has some of her more adult feathers so she is growing but…. Let me rephrase that. She does eat but only tiny bites and only if I sprinkle it into her beak. I think she might be a little more stable on her feet because yesterday she was a little stumbly. I do have Gerber baby food, I can try it. I am not sure if it is sickness or dehydration because she drank a shit ton of water and still is drinking water sometimes. The others ones aren’t sick though and after I gave corid the other two started pooping solid browns again. I am confused on what it is
Yeah it’s hard to say which bug is to blame when it comes to GI issues, the body pretty much reacts with the same general symptoms wether it’s worms, coccidia, giardia, bad bacteria and a number of other issues. Your best bet if you can’t get some diagnostic testing is to aim for something that’s broad spectrum and hope it does the job.
This route can be more costly financially and physiologically in the long run but I know what it’s like to be in a tough spot with no other choice. I don’t have many vets that will see geese in my area and the ones that will I’ve had unbelievable bad expieriences with, the only good vet is 3 hours away “one way” which is an issue in itself.
 
Do you have any kind of scale or is there someone you can borrow one from?

You’re going to need a weight on her before you start giving her medications, you need to be able to determine the right dosage.
 
you don’t think she looks pale or anything right? She still won’t eat but will drink water. Also is it alright her wing looks like that. I am getting really worried and upset about her. She is really a sweet one. She is going to die isn’t she. She just pooped liquid with white stringy stuff.
Also I wanted to add, the white stringy stuff is urates, urates should be white so this is a good sign, her kidneys and liver are still functioning well.
 
If you can get ahold of a bathroom/body scale I use those to weigh my birds, they won’t stay put on it themselves so what I do is weigh myself while holding them and then weigh myself without them and subtract the difference to get their general weight.

Like yesterday I came home. My youngest who never showed signs of anything was laying on her side with her eyes open, stiff as a board, dead. I don’t want to lose Palmer but I don’t think it’s something contagious because they weren’t showing any signs of sickness

I’m so sorry for your loss!

It could be something contagious or it might not be, it’s impossible to say.
Some illnesses can be sneaky and the only sign of illness can be sudden death.

did you notice any bloody droppings or anything at all?

No blood or anything like that. Actually the other twos poop was normal, it was only Palmer with the liquid poop and the little one acted perfectly fine never had a issue with her. I have had one drop dead before for no reason though so I would probably say something like heart attack. Here is palmers poop today

I’m sorry but she is very ill, are her eyes runny in this picture or is that just an illusion?

If her eyes are runny then it could be a respiratory illness that’s also going on, some sicknesses can be upper respiratory and intestinal, e.coli, CRD, salmonella, and some viruses for example.

I know you said you didn’t like the one vet that you had bad expieriences with but at this point it really looks like this one needs a vet as soon as possible if it is possible for you to take her.
