I would really appreciate some thoughts and advice on this one...
Earlier this week I had to have my goose Trinny, that I had owned for 13 years, put to sleep. When I bought her she was a gosling, the poor little lady had kidney failure from which she could not be cured..
My dilemma is that I now have 1 remaining goose (also a female) Susannah who is 6 years old. Trinny hatched Susannah from a donated fertilized egg. So Trinny was her surrogate Mum....and now that she is not around my remaining goose is calling... constantly.
My vet said that she may settle down in a few days and he had known some other geese that had been left on their own did eventually get over the loss. He suggested I didn't rush things and see how she gets on.
Listening to her is heartbreaking so I am now wondering if I should buy another fully grown goose, try and get a fertilized egg for her to hatch or re-home her with someone who has geese of their own.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
