I can see the hole and it looks like it puntured her lung.

Listen near the hole, is she wheezing through it? IF yes, than definate lung, and you need to cover it tightly and call a vet, IMO. If its not wheezing, then wash the wound,treat, bandage it tight (with the criss cross wrap), and monitor progress. All my opinion, but how I would proceed none the less.

Basic triage: apply pressure to stop bleeding, clean wound, assess damage (take pic), apply topical (not sure what is best for geese, but Celtic recommended neosporin without pain for another goose injury), then wrap. Keep warm and quiet.

they are so darling!

Mmmm. Smoked Muscovy.

My babies are peeping!!! It's 2nd day of lockdown and I can hear them!!! Ack!!!! So nervous!!!!

I liked it, but I'm a horse gal and I pretty much like any horse movie.

When I watch horse movies it makes me wanna go out and ride my own horse. So now we have the trailer pulled up to fix a few things so we can haul off to the lake this weekend for a ride. Got a new saddle pad for my B-Day and i'm itching to try it out. $160 pad for a speed thrill horse, I really have lost it. LOL, I love my mare just wish she would slow down and enjoy the trails vs. her previouse owners endurance trail competition dreams. She still hasn't figured out that her job is not to beat the clock. Last fall she tore or sprained a tendon or ligament in her left front. She got her leg in the fence and although she didn't cut it bad she did have a ligament injury that I had to treat. She was stalled for 3 months and then slowly introduced back into the turnout padock by hand walking everyday. She got to be a handful after 3 months of a stall and her leg feeling better, but ligament or tendon injuries are nothing to mess around with. I was holding my breath the first time I turned her out to the padock, she bucked and kicked and ran and twisted

I was so afraid I'de have her back up in the stall. With lots and lots of prayer the leg held and we have been slowly working her back into riding. She seems to be 100% now.


This was an old picture from last summer. She's nice and dark black right now since she is just shedding off and hasn't faded out from the sun yet. I should get her out and spruce her up a bit.

she is a beauty

Today I got home and the silkies are pipped and fussing at me. Oh my! Also have pheasant and turkey due.

Our poor quail number three passed away last night.

LIfe is normal in the home of a hatcher.

Yay for the silkies! pics please

for the quail

As soon as the silkies are finished, or at least the first of the 3 pipped ones, I'll get a pick.

Little Julia is unhappy, but decided to use her allowence she's saved to buy more button quail eggs. She won some on ebay yesterday. Now shes praying that her new eggs get here safely. I'm glad she didn't lose faith. Now the pressures on mom to make the babies hatch, apparently.

I've moved my still air to the bator room, sine it was in a part of the room that gets a little air movement, and the temps ranged a big.

hope julias eggs arrive safely

It's been a while since I posted any pics of my oldest goslings, so here is No. 1 at 5.5 weeks, beginning the ugly phase.

I can see the hole and it looks like it puntured her lung.

oh no i hope celtic can help you!

 

[QuackerJackFarms]

x2 to no ugly phase. It didn't quote it though. About utah's geese. They are precious!

OMG MY NEIGHBORS DOG JUST GOT AHOLD OF MY GOOSE!!!!!!! It is Sadie, my sebbie. I had her and the BEI's outside for a bit and was getting some water and I turned around and Newman had the goose. She is bleeding around the lung area and is breathing really heavy. I don't know what to do for her. We are keeping her warm right now. My hubby loves her too. this is the only bird of mine that he loves. W\HAT DO I DO!!!????????????????????????????????????????

OH NO!!

Basic triage: apply pressure to stop bleeding, clean wound, assess damage (take pic), apply topical (not sure what is best for geese, but Celtic recommended neosporin without pain for another goose injury), then wrap. Keep warm and quiet.

And turn off the lights! And keep it warm! Apple Cider vinegar in some warm water for her. It's a natural antibiotic. OH NO SM!!
