I am shattered!!! May dad ran over our male goose yesterday with the pickup. Yes he was driving at a very slow speed and yes he tried to stop. But the goose tried to attack the tire and somehow ended up under it. Totally not my dad’s fault. I have a love hate relationship with this little guy. He does a wonderful job at protecting his lady, but the little sneaky sneak always lurks around, trying to get the back of my thigh. So when this happened, clearly I ran to his rescue
. His back/ right wing appears broken. I don’t think it’s his wing at all, I think something is happening with the back and causing the wing issue. There are bleeding, open areas above his ?-tail feathers. I’m pretty sure his preen gland was affected because it’s oily and I can pull out tiny little tufts of oily baby feathers that don’t appear to have quills. I have separated him and put him in our enclosed shop with his mate. He IS drinking. He IS pooping normal poops. But he isn’t standing or trying to walk much. He is sitting upright and calling for his mate. I have bandaged what I could, tried to prevent any kind of infection and provided a safe and secluded space for them. What else can I do? No… we do not have poultry vets in my area. Thanks!
