Sick goose

[Bhford]

I have a Toulouse gander around 6 years old. He started with weakness about 3 days ago ,and is shaking his head. He has stopped eating . He gets clean water and fresh food daily. I also have a female goose that is not sick. Any help would be appreciated.

Does he do it after drinking?

@Bhford catch him and feel along his neck maybe he has eaten some long blades of grass that has gotten stuck, how is his voice is he still able to honk?

Welcome to BYC! Could be a respiratory infection. Do like @Miss Lydia suggested and check his mouth and neck for an obstruction. Can you take him to a vet?

Shaking his head makes me wonder if he has something stuck, Is there any drainage at all from eyes or nares? and can he make normal goose noise?
