Should I be concerned?

Antibiotics, warm baths and calcium are not helping. She is getting worse. I have been trying to massage, but it is not helping. I am afraid I may have to put her down. I will keep trying to help her for a while yet.

I'm so sorry. Still keeping my fingers crossed for her.

Goose Girl, I am so sorry you lost her. I know the care you give your birds from reading your posts on BYC. Sometimes, even with the best of care, we lose them. It's an awful thing to deal with. Again, I am so very sorry.

Thank you. I still miss her every day.

If you feel it's time to let her go, it might be a good idea to let Boris see her afterward so he knows she is gone, it's going to be hard for him. [after you have put her down far from him. ] still holding out hope.

Natasha is gone. We tried everything short of actual surgery. She was a trooper and will really be missed around here. Boris is upset to say the least. Thank you Miss Lydia, for your suggestion to help Boris. My family and I are sad but it is much worse when we see Boris calling to the house.

I have to say I did not realize how a gander could show such sadness.

I am not sure what to do for him now. In a couple of weeks I will have a few female goslings but right now he is by himself. He had to be separated from the ducks when January rolled around or I thought he might really hurt them.

Hopefully he will be okay till he gets some new friends.

Thank you for all of your advice. I now know what signs to look for when I have a goose beginning to lay and what would be a warning sign.

I really appreciate how many of you showed your concern. Goose girl I can't imagine how you felt when you lost your goose. I know that she was a very dear pet and that you had her for a few years at least.

We're thinking of Natasha down here, hope she feels better soon. Just in case, I got some results for avian vets in Indiana (I have no idea where the cities are geographically located

, but maybe 1 will help?)

Bhonkers,

Thank you for this. I now will have a few places to contact at the first sign of a problem. Thanks!
 
flockman, I am so sorry to hear you lost her, I know you all are saddend by it, and Boris I can not imagine what he is feeling now. looking at my gander and how attached he is to my goose. But I hope I can encourage you about your 2 goslings, last year my gander actually took over as papa goose for all the Muscovy ducklings that we hatched here, and he did a better job than the mama ducks, so when you get them let him see them I'm pretty sure he'll bond with them, of course the weather won't be where they can be out side with him but if he can see them and them him, it will make such an impression on him, you'll have to watch him closely because he can become depressed now. If there is anyway you can set up a way for him to be able to be near these goslings while they are growing till they can be out side it will be great for them and him. again so very sorry.
