That’s good! If she completely stops eating youll need to start tube feeding her immediately though.
Tube feeding seems daunting at first but it’s simpler than it seems, but you’ll need a 60 ml syringe and a stomach tube for lambs
They look like this and there’s a good chance your vet has some https://www.premier1supplies.com/p/stomach-tubes
First you mix some feed with boiling water, let it cool until you can touch it without being burned but it’s still hot. It can be tricky figuring out the food to water ratio because it gets thicker as it mixes and you want it watery enough that you can still suck it up in the syringe.
The reason it has to be reasonably warm is it helps the stomach digest, cold feed directly delivered to the stomach causes digestion to slow down.
Next you suck the mixture up in the syringe, fill the whole tube.
Then squat over your goose, not sitting on her but just using your legs and body to keep her in place.
With one hand pinch the corners of her mouth until she opens, then open up her mouth and insert the end of the tube down HER right side of the mouth, you might see it as a lump going down the right side of her neck, you’ll also be able to feel it, it’s crucially important that it goes down the right side, down her throat and not down to her lung.
As soon as the tube is down hot the plunger and give her the whole dose. Then pull the syringe out. It can help her keep it down if you hold her head up for a moment after you pull the tube out.
The faster you do the process of feeding her the less stressful it is on her.
Feeding twice to 3 times a day will maintain her weight.
