Well, it could be so many things. Is there any indication of respiratory illness? Have you seen his poops and do they look 'normal'? Do you have a wildlife center you could get him to? I would be sure he isn't anywhere near your birds, or near where your birds go.

Is he acting "drunk"? Head waving, stumbling, not eating/drinking/peeping/honking? Usually once a goose is down, they're out. And without a vet there isn't much you can do except get it vitamins and keep it clean.

There are home remedies a few members here know about, they'll jump in eventually.

Thank you for trying to save this goose, I take it you're young? You have an amazing heart <3

Is he tufted? That can sometimes predispose birds to brain damage. I had a tufted goose for a short time, but she died due to brain damage.

Could be he ate something toxic also is this a domestic goose of Canada? I'll get you the thread to the flushes.

Best to keep him safe and give him plenty of fresh water and feed. If you decide on a flush follow directions to the T.
