HELP!! Sick goose!!

Tylosin or Baytril.

I'm getting Corid now but I'll try to get Baytril. Can they be given both at the same time?

Yes, but if it’s viral they won’t work against the virus itself but they will limit secondary bacterial and parasite infections.

I'll have to try getting some then.

I have the ganders separated in their coop, and they thankfully are their goofy selves and Ella (original sick goose) outside in our brooder by the house.

She did attempt to eat the mesh but more like sip at it and she drank a bit of the Corid on her own. However I noticed that she's having trouble opening her mouth fully, but almost like she doesn't have energy or her jaw hurts?

She is bobbing her head and obviously tired but I'm so worried she'll seizure and pass away. I tried syringe feeding her but she fought me so I'm hoping that's a good sign in a way. She also made her way back and forth from the coop to the house earlier today, and wanted to cuddle, had enough energy to loudly honk a few moments ago but I'm paranoid that her sticking close by me might've been wanting comfort or saying goodbye.

Update: thank you for the help but sadly Ella had a seizure and passed away sometime last night.

I’m so sorry for both your losses, geese are such loving creatures and it’s so awful when we lose them. I wish I could have been more help.

Thank you. I'm heartbroken and I think, partially, their brothers are too. They seem a bit confused and not chatty at all. Although now two of them are sick, one is having similar symptoms as Ella and another has bloody diarrhea but still semi-normal. My oldest gander is himself and eating but I have no idea what this is to hit so hard within 24-48 hours.

We're getting testing tomorrow from the USDA so I'll update with results
