Oxytetracycline isn't very effective anymore. Tabs/capsules or injections are more effective depending on the type of antibiotic used. That is why I recommended Cephalexin capsules. It absorbs well in the intestinal tract. If it is Cholera, then sulfa drugs are often used to treat it. Maybe the vet could give you a Trimethoprim-Sulfa suspension to feed the bird orally with a syringe. It works both ways for cholera/bacterial infections. For individual treatment, I don't care for water dispersible antibiotics since it is hard to tell if the bird is getting enough if it isn't drinking enough. I would think you may have better success with geese though, since they drink more than chickens. I grew up with geese, but have not had them for many years.

I just picked up baytril do you think that will work 22.5 MG pill fo vet said 4 times a day or ally

So will baytril work I herd it's the ultimate 67.50$ mind you he's a male i.e no eggs and I would never ever eat a goose after living with one to me it's like owning a dog

Hang in there!

I cannot add any more to what Michael Apple has said even though I have had geese for 8 yrs but haven't had to use any meds with them other than worming. I respect his knowledge of meds and think he is on the right track. Hope you goose recovers from what ever is going on.
