Help my goose penis is stuck

[Mrs Duckie]

My goose penis is stuck out and won't go back into sheath and retract. I have him in a bathtub of warm water and some epsom salt (spa day) and cleaned it but it has not helped it retract now what can I do? Please help Foghorn

@Goosebaby @Miss Lydia
I read a thread not too long ago about that maybe I can find it in the meantime I do not know but I have tagged some very goose-smart people

I found this

Make a tub of warm Epsom salt water and let him have a nice long soak, as long as he wishes.

For now, lubricate his "equipment" to keep it from drying out in between Epsom salt soaks, which he can have a couple times a day.

Call around to your feed stores and ask if they have terramycin ointment. It's usally used on eye tissue, but it's a good antibiotic topical med for this purpose, and used by geese keepers for this purpose.

But if you can eventually get him to the vet, that would be best.

Can you post a picture of it?

Please @Mrs Duckie I know this is stressful but you are making posts on 5 different threads about this so I dont know where to answer

We def need to see it. How long has he been like this. I'm not sure if Epsom salt would be the way to soak since salt is drying Maybe @casportpony can say.
I'd definitely use the cortisone cream I remember someone else recommending it for a Drake prolapse.

 

[Goosebaby]

Mycoplasma anseris can cause a prolapsed penis and necrosis in geese, if he doesn’t return to normal with soaking and cortisone as Miss Lydia suggested that might be the problem. Different mycoplasma strains are sensitive to different things so either denegard, Tylosin, or doxycycline might treat it.

@Mrs Duckie How is your gander doing?
