What’s Wrong With My Gosling?

[FeatheredDinos]

#HELP please. I’ve never seen anything like this ... it appears my gosling has two anal openings but she’s very swolllen ... anyone have any idea what this is and how to treat it?

I've not ever come across that either. First step would be to clean the area really well so we can see better what is going on.
You can set him in some warm water for a while...not too deep...to loosen up some of the gunk to clean it off.

Once it's clean try applying some Neosporin to the area. Are you giving heat in the brooder?

Also have you actually seen this gosling poop?

Is a vet an option?

 

[Gray Farms]

It does look like two fully formed and possibly even functioning anal openings. Just keep any eye on it for now. If complications arise seek veterinary help.

Yes Ma’am ... she’s pooping but I’m not sure from which vent...Sorry, I didn’t respond sooner - I’m a bit overwhelmed with babies right now - chicks, poults, ducklings and goslings everywhere

Sounds like you do have your hands full!
Doesn't take long for geese to work up a poo...spend a few minutes observing it and figure out what's what...I don't think any of us have ever seen anything like this!
