Online Veterinarian advice

[Goosey Girl]

Has anyone ever used an online poultry veterinarian for their geese or ducks?
How was your experience with them, cost, and were you able to get a prescription from them for an antibiotic?

I have a goose with a few bumblefoot lumps because he is a dunderhead and was trying to fight with some drakes through a fence.

I'm giving him old, leftover 22.7 mg Baytril pills that were prescribed for my cat. I won't have enough for a full course.

No local vet has any interest in seeing my goose.

I’ve never done this so I’m no help but I’m curious too. No vet will prescribe anything to me without an in person examination and hardly anyone will see geese in my area, it may just be a California thing though.

If you don’t find an answer here try asking the same question in other forums but if anyone’s done this for chickens. Not a lot of people have geese compared to chooks so it’s more likely someone with chickens might have expierience with an online poultry vet.

Thanks. I understand for indoor pets like dogs and cats, having the need for an in person visit makes sense. Plus, there are lots of vets, even in pet stores for these animals.

If my gander wasn't such a big crazy boy, I'd be tempted to crate him and bring him into Petsmart's animal vet. I know it wouldn't end well though.

Thanks and I'll question elsewhere also.
