Help! My girl Goose is looking extra puffy and has this weird discharge on her bum. I’ve tried a few things with no change. She’s lethargic and not eating or drinking much. She randomly laid 2 eggs then stopped. She wasn’t laying all winter before this. There are no lice or mites on her. She’s around 5 (we think). I’m not sure if this is a parasite or something else.

She may be having a hard time expelling an egg or lash material. If she were mine, I'd give her 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 now, then once daily for a week.
Just open the beak, pop the tablet in and let her swallow.

Give her bottom a good cleanup. It looks like she's covered in urates at this point, tell us if there's a distinct odor like Yeast or if it smells more like Ammonia or Urine.

Work on hydration, get some electrolytes into her if you have them. Once hydrated, offer wet mushy feed. Let us know if her crop is emptying.
