Greetings from sweden!
Me and my wife has got a pair of geese of an old swedish rural breed called "ölandsgås".
Beginning a few weeks ago the female has had some problems with her third eyelids which wont retract properly.
She had tendencies like this in her left eye when we got her (around may this year) but it seemed to sort itself out after a while. We then thought it was because of her growing. But then a few weeks ago it started coming back, and this time on both eyes. And now it has started impairing her vision.
She doesnt seem to be in pain, and shes eating and drinking as per usual. But its clear its not normal nor very comfortable.
Weve had two different vets look at her and neither found the source. Neither of them found any damage to the cornea or anything like that. And neither any signs of problems with her sinuses(?) or other respiratory issues.
Now in the winter they are getting a mix of whole seeds of different cereals (wheat, barley, oats, rye). And added carrots and pumpkins and the like more or less daily.
Right now our main vet is on holiday leave so were just trying to do all we can in the meantime..
Any ideas? Anyone seen it before? Any tips on what to search for?
