HELP! Last chance trying to treat my sick goose.

[Goose in the snake room]

About to do my 3rd treatment of f10. It’s too soon to tell how effective it is, but she is no longer open mouth breathing. Still shaking her head and still stands a lot to breathe easier. Less drool too!
This has given me more time to research and feel her for digestive issues, I believe now this is the more concerning ailment. She’s still not eating, but drinking lots of “soup.” While typing this I got the notification that my tube feeding kit has arrived and first thing I’m going to do is a molasses flush.
After doing some more research on the kinds of digestive blockages they can get, I was thinking it may be the gizzard.
If it was a gizzard impaction would the stool be green still? Does gizzard impaction cause similar stool to hers?
Also last night I was examining a new bowel movement she made and noticed a purple chunk. It was a larger piece of dumor chick grit I had given her probably 5 days ago when she still had an appetite. So she’s capable of passing something that size. But I’m concerned that she’s passing grit and not other materials. It’s been a while since she’s had any solid food so I don’t know what I’m looking for in her stool, I think I was expecting some large mass to signify it had passed.
Anyway, continue to wish me luck, thoughts and prayers

My nebulizer broke tonight, so going to do what I can to fix it or get another one. So no F10 tonight. Her respiratory symptoms are stable at the moment, now I have to focus on her weight/eating.
I tube fed her a molasses flush this afternoon and it didn’t seem to do much. A few hours ago I tube fed her super watered down flock raiser and vitamin B supplements. She is really not a fan of it, and gets very upset with me after. I can tell how weak she’s getting and she definitely needs to be tube fed. I need to find (or need advice) as to what I can give her that’s high in nutrients/calories/protein that is 90% liquid. I’ve read about the game feed with high protein but I’m not sure how liquid-y I could make it while maintaining the proper nutrients. I have exact baby bird formula which could be watered down pretty well but I haven’t tried it yet. I don’t want to put anything in her system that could back her up more.
Today I briefly took her outside to see if she’d nibble some grass, and while walking around she collapsed. I examined the bottom of her feet and saw the beginning of pressure sores so I’m sure that has something to do with her strange walk and discomfort. Her brooder is on hard floor and she stands majority of the time so she can breathe easier. When she lays it presses on her air sacs and she has a little more difficulty breathing. Sometimes she lays down and it’s fine, other times laying down is enough to trigger open mouth breathing. I put some cushions and more towels on the floor and a little pool so she can take the weight off her feet. I didn’t want to give her a pool because I’m trying to only have “soup” available. So now I also have to work around the pressure sores and make sure they heal.

Also tomorrow my fecal float solution comes in the mail and my drinking water tests!
I have my own lab (not a full lab obviously) with a microscope and centrifuge so I’ll be able to look at her stool for any eggs or bacteria (so I can rule out gapeworm and coccidiosis).
I also plan on testing the water I’ve been giving them when they’re outside. I recently got a new hose pipe and spigot that I’ve been using to water everyone on the farm, there’s a possibility the water could have high levels of hard metals, copper, or zinc. I’m hoping to either rule out or start treating for hardware disease. I did use a metal detector to scan her body to see if I could pick up any metal she could have swallowed and didn’t see anything. (I tested the metal detector first to make sure it could pick up the hardware that I used for my fence and could detect through living tissue, but this could still be inaccurate).

Sorry for the rant, this has mostly become a blog for myself so I can keep track of her. It feels like I’m taking 1.25 steps forward and 1 step back, but slow progress is still progress

Is there the option to consult an avian vet and bring her in for a thorough examination?

The only avian vet near me (that’s worth anything) is 2 hours away, booked out several weeks and over 200$ just to schedule an appointment. It’s not that I don’t want to take her it’s just not a viable option in terms of time. And I got declined their credit card system. I wish I could take her, I really do
