I need help. There is this goose at my local park, we think its male, around 15 years old, the past 5 days its had some of its anus hanging out. Unfortunately it's probably hardware disease or a stuck egg. Do we have a local vet in the San Jose area thats willing to work on this guy inexpensively? Maybe just an exam/consultation to determine best course of action.
The past few months he's had difficulty walking, thought it was arthritis, just got worse suddenly. He's a real fighter and wants to live, has that spirit, but at this point I can't let him suffer. Would putting him down, next day or two, be the best course of action?

probably his penis and it needs medical attention because it can get infected very easily. can happen from over mating and I'm sure other reasons. But really needs to be seen by a vet. Call rescues in your area to see if someone can help you and the goose.
 
Thank you very much for replying, Lydia!
The first two days I saw an inch to an inch and a half corkscrew piece of flesh sticking out of his(gender?) bottom. Now it looks like a quarter size piece of intestine pushing out his/her bottom, followed by the corkscrew. The local wildlife shelter couldn't be bothered! Literally!
He is pooping OK. I'm feeding him romaine lettuce, lots of fresh water and a little bird seed. The poop is very runny.
Physically, he looks like he has arthritis. Trouble standing, legs prostrate out behind him while sitting. But he's not that old, never seen this before.

Is there anyone in the Bay area willing to come take a look?
We really know nothing of what's going on and are too afraid of causing more harm.
But having spend 1k+ on a goose I'm not in that position today.

So what are the possibilities
1) Penis protruding
2) Hardware disease
3) egg bound (several months?)
4) unknown unknown

From the bottom of my heart.... thanks ~Cam
