    What is this on my goose??

    I recently discovered this lump above my goose eye. Initially it was smaller than this and I found it about a month ago. I figured it was a sting of some sort but it’s been about a month later and it’s bigger. I found a similar lump just like it on his neck too. These are wiggly and not firm...

    Do I bandage the duck's leg or not?

    One of our ducks has a leg wound (not on the foot). I've emphasized that because everything we have looked up has talked about foot injuries but it's not the same. It's a long gash, one of two wounds we found her with several days ago. We believe a predator attacked her but did not see what...
