I have a month old gosling with two vents. She is still pooping, but there are 3 marble sized knots in that area ... I’ve given Epsom Baths - 3 days now. I gave her a Dawn Bath this morning, because I believe it’s an infection - impacted food? Any help would be greatly appreciated. We have no vets around here who know anything about birds.

First of all, I am not familiar with geese and I am not a vet. A vet would be more helpful. Having 2 vents is a common birth defect in chickens. Some live very normal lives, as long as they can pass droppings and they can usually lay eggs as well. Has anyone pecked at her vents to cause the lumps? Does she pass droppings from each side? I would lubricate the two vents with olive oil and give her 1/2 tsp of olive oil or an equal amount of chilled coconut oil cut into bite size pieces. Give the oil in food preferably or very slowly. The coconut is usually taken eagerly.

Here is some reading about a few chickens with 2 vents:
