Hello! I just went out to feed and water my 2 almost 1 year old sebbies and I noticed one has their eye closed. The other eye looks fine. When I got closer to check it out, they opened up the eye but something definitely looks off with the eyeball. I don’t see any discharge. The other goose eyes look normal. Would could be going on? Any advice appreciated.

I would catch the goose and hopefully have a helper to hold him so you can first rinse the eye with saline, and then use terramycin antibacterial ointment.
They sell it online and at TSC in the dog stuff section. I think do this twice a day. Im sure @Goosebaby can help

Have you noticed any foam or bubbles in the eye? Any sneezing, wheezing, coughing, or snicking?
it could be a sinus infection, an injury, or there’s something in there. Definitely try to flush it like @Jenbirdee suggested.
 
Hi! Thank you so much! I flushed out the eye and applied terramycin. I don’t notice any discharge, bubbles, foam or anything! No weird noises. Just keeping the eye closed. I will update! Thanks again!!!
