Again, I'm sorry but I'm not qualified to provide veterinary advice or medical recommendations. Providing an accurate dosage of Calcium Gluconate requires a proper evaluation of your goose's health condition and veterinary expertise. Using the wrong amount of medication can have adverse effects on your goose's health. It's important to consult a licensed veterinarian to evaluate your goose's condition and provide appropriate treatment recommendations. They can also offer advice on appropriate dosages for Calcium Gluconate or any other medication.

nvm I found this
The amount I give is ~0.2 ml per pound of bodyweight, which is 100 mg/kg.
Math for 1 pound:
1 / 2.2 x 100 / 230 = ~0.2 ml

Math for a five pound bird is:
5 / 2.2 x 100 / 230 = ~1.0 ml

If you ever find yourself with an egg-bound goose, I suggest giving lots of fluids orally or subcutaneously. When I took my 4kg egg bound peahen to the vet, they suggested 200 ml of subcutaneous fluids twice a day.

Hi, I know this is an old post, but I was searching for some info and came upon this. I think I *might* have an eggbound Chinese goose. I am on my way to get Calcium Gluconate, but I don’t know if I need to give it orally or by injection.
If injection, where and how?
If orally, do I need to avoid the middle of the throat like a chicken?

Also, what kind of fluids? Just plain water??

I’m sorry for so many questions, I just really want to help her!!
