Normal gosling behavior?

What do you feed them?

That looks like urates to me, but her poop looks very bubbly - I think that can be a sign of a bacterial infection or worms let me double check...

I agree. Looks like urates

What do you feed them?

Flock raiser crumbles with brewers yeast mixed in

Does she have water deep enough to clean her nares and eyes?

 

[HeatherKellyB]

They do blow bubbles in their water to clear their nares and eyes. They need water that's deep enough for them to fully submerge their bills

 

[Sweetbasil]

So probably not a yeast infection since poop looks normal other than bubbles?

Does she have water deep enough to clean her nares and eyes?

yes it is deep enough for this

This was next poop, not as white or bubbly but still runny and very stinky.

Her poop looks normal to me, their poop does get stinkier as they get older though it shouldn't knock your socks off or anything. When they're little it barely smells but it doesn't stay that way especially when eating a lot of starter/feed. It could still be a yeast infection but I don't know the likelihood. Since she had lice she would be more vulnerable to secondary infections. Has she been exposed to mold? Is she still head/tail bobbing etc, any new symptoms? Any luck with the vets?

Edit: actually a cecal poop can definitely knock your socks off! If that poop was shinier/thicker than her other poops it might just be a cecal poop. Runny poop is pretty normal for a gosling (or an adult goose mostly eating feed rather than grass)

She has not been exposed to mold, they get fresh water and food twice a day and are in my shed with temperature control. Her poop actually lately has been knocking my socks off, the odor just doesn’t seem right. Still head bobbing with heavy breathing. Just finished eating and drinking a lot as usual. Now dozing back off or at least she is trying too. Her bum aggravating her still and hoping the spray will help with that. No luck with vets proabably because of the time of night.
