Panting

[GMoose]

First off, thank you all for all the help I wouldn’t be where I am with my flock without y’all. My new goose who is about 12 weeks has been panting a bit, not all the time and only when it’s hot. But what’s concerning is that it’s not THAT hot, this morning is was 78 and cloudy and she was sitting with my other geese panting. The other geese were not panting though. She definitely just seems hot though, when she’s in the water she isn’t doing it and when it’s cool (evening and morning) she isn’t doing it. Is it possible she just doesn’t do the best with the heat? Or do I need to deworm her? Other then that she seems perfectly healthy and happy

At this age her body is adjusting and her thermo-regulation is all over the the place, babies of this age are prone to getting overheated.
If she starts showing other symptoms or seems lethargic ar slow to follow the others than there’s a concern she’s sick with something, but otherwise this is normal.
It’s definitly scary when you first see it though!

Ok. Thanks! She’s getting pretty big!
