Watery poo may be from only drinking and not taking in solid foods...also a sign of poor nutrition absorption like an advanced case of coccidosis. Check her weight/body condition by feeling her keel bone [breast bone].... birds often hide illness for an extended period and weight loss is rarely noticed unless you physically check and keel bone is a good quick reference.
Check the poo very closely for signs of worms and treat if any suspected, otherwise I would treat for coccidosis. You may need to tube feed her for a couple days to make sure meds and nutrition are getting into her.
Open mouthed breathing isn't good normally but could be (remotely)possible that she is overly warm if not adjusted to inside temps yet. Hoping that is all it is. Check her for 'bulby butt'... which basically means her abdominal area between end of breast bone and vent feels swollen, like a water balloon. If present it can be a sign of peritonitis (infection in abdominal area) maybe from internal laying... or ascites, which is fluid which accumulates in abdomen and is most often associated with cancers or liver problems.
Diagnosing animals is so hard, frustrating when they can't tell us how they feel...and worse because they do everything they can to hide problems until the situation is desperate.
She is no longer breathing with her mouth open. She drinks a lot and is still pooping mostly liquid. No worms. She pecked at her food a little so I’m hoping she will eat more tomorrow. I’ll make her some eggs.
She hasn’t laid an egg, and still wont walk around. She does not have a bulby butt. I’m getting frustrated not knowing what is wrong
I absolutely love those geese lol
..can't hardly believe it..been so long since we have seen so many eggs in one day!! Truly!
