Unfortunately she passed at the clinic from stress. They want me to now send the body off to cornell to be reviewed.

If what you have doesn’t work You can find them on Amazon

This is a good example of how to tube feed

Basically once you’ve made up the feed you straddle the bird without sitting on them but just to keep them in place.
With one hand you reach over the top of the bill and apply pressure to the corners of the mouth until she starts to open her mouth, open her mouth and wrap your hand around her upper beak, to keep her mouth open, this helps to prevent biting also.
Insert the tube down HER right side of the throat until you see the lump move down at the base of her neck, sometimes you can’t see it with geese so you might want to feel for it.

Once it’s in place hit the plunger, then pull the tube out.
The faster it’s done the less stressful it is on her and the easier it is.

How you make up the mix is you boiling water to a handful of feed, you may need to keep adding water as the feed expands and gets gummy. Once it’s cooled to the point that it’s still warm but you can stick your finger in it without burning it load up the whole syringe with it, all 60 ml. Cold mixture can slow down digestion which isn’t good.

An emaciated goose will need about 3 to 5 feedings a day to keep them alive, 6 to 8 will start putting weight on unless they begin eating on their own.
