It all started with a swollen leg and now my goose has swollen eyelids and head. Can someone give me an opinion and what should i do?
I have attached some pics.

I think an avian vet is your best bet. Is that an option?

I can see one on monday. He got like this over 2 days and i was hoping for some luck here.

The leg too? Looking at the swelling around the eyes made me think allergic reaction but I don’t think it would affect just one leg did you check all over for a bite of somekind and is it eating, drinking and pooping normal?

@Isaac 0 any ideas? @casportpony

The leg was the first one to swallow and now is hard thick and cracked. Eating , drinking and pooping normally.

And no sign of a bite of some kind?

Dose of Benadryl now and see if it improves? If given now, and the vet is made aware that it was given and the timing, should be ok to give a single dose and see if it helps. Dosage is 2-4mg/kg (2-4mg/2.2lbs) orally. It doesn’t taste good to them so may need to give by syringe. Although I haven’t tried the flavoured children’s stuff - that might not be so bad added to a treat.

The veins on the neck are full with blood . I can feel them throught the skin.I don't have benadryl i have just meds for humans . I have just 2 geese and grow them because i like them. If i can use something for humans please let me know.
