If you can I strongly advise looking for another gosling now, so that they can bond quickly and so that the bigger gosling won’t be as traumatized when they lose their little friend as they won’t be alone.

I’m sorry but this is a serious condition that only a vet can possibly treat. It could be an infection in the coelom and in that case the fluid needs to be drained and the gosling needs a course of antibiotics, it could possibly have originated with an infection of the yolk sac or umbilical...

I give mine to the local raven couple who chase hawks out of the yard in return.

Most of mine can average about 6 feet, Delphi has gone up to about 8 ft then flew down to the lower yard where she crash landed in an apple tree, both times! 😂 Mine don’t fly very often though, probably because steering and landing seem to be trickier than takeoff.

He’s the reason sorting machines were removed from my home state (California) in a two for one effort, to try to slow down mail in ballots prior to the election, and to do to California what he plans for the whole nation, to make usps so slow and incompetent that private shipping companies, like...

Flock raiser is fine, it’s what my geese were raised on. That could be the beginning of bumblefoot, it also looks like a type of skin infection birds will sometimes get from walking around on dirty moist ground for prolonged periods, usually a weakened immune system is actually to blame...

If they can be fed to chickens it’s likely geese can eat them also. Domestic geese generally are grazers but they’ll also eat worms and other bugs on occasion, it’s usually ducks that will eat small fish and sometimes amphibians. Geese can also be picky eaters and they can take awhile to want to...

Do you have a scale? You could weigh her daily to see if she’s putting on any weight. As long as she’s eating and is healthy she should continue to grow, if she’s a small breed she’ll be smaller than the Toulouse. She’s a sweetie and I’m rooting for her!

Another fecal float. Corid isn’t an antibiotic so it won’t negatively affect the immune system. It works by inhibiting coccidia’s ability to absorb thiamine, thus killing the parasite. Keep in mind that administering B vitamins including thiamine in conjunction with corid will render corid...

Yeah she’s helped me tons and I’ve learned a lot from her knowledge here!

If Casportpony doesn’t answer you can message her directly. Or I can if you’d prefer?

Don’t necessarily listen to me, I’m running on two hours of sleep and math and dosing don’t always meet up right when I’m like this. @casportpony did I bungle this?

If you saw some pink in there and she isn’t eating any strawberries or anything with a pink/red pigment pink indicates a lower digestive issue. Parasite testing often has false negatives so testing isn’t always accurate. Most common cause of lower intestinal issues is coccidia, you could put...

10-15 mg/kg twice daily So for the 3.08kg gosling a 10mg dose will be 30.8 mg For the 2.99kg gosling that will be 29.9 mg Do you have a gram scale? If not I can give you a visual of how much powder to use in a syringe. You can use a syringe to measure out as close to the correct amount as...
