You need to keep him in as dry an area as possible and keep any flies off of him, inside your house in a dog crate would be best till the wound is completely closed up so the flies can't lay their eggs and cause maggots to hatch in the wound. so make up a solution of warm water with salt mixed in and wash his leg real good by pouring the water over top and just letting it run down. this will help clean out any bacteria that maybe in it. is the wound deep or did the goose just peel it? what kind of treatment products do you have on hand, nothing can be used that has pain relief in it ending in caine. Ducks can come back from horrific attacks It just takes time and alot of TLC from us.

[Miss Lydia]

help!

What have you done for Pinky so far? main thing you need to do is keep his wounds as clean as possible and make sure flies don't get on it. Please let us know all you have done for him so far and how he is acting.
