Goose with Mouth Injury

[SkyBlueEmu]

My goose was chewing on something in their enclosure and got her mouth hooked on it. We got her unstuck. Her bill had blood running on the sides of it from her mouth so I cleaned the outside and made sure the bleeding had stopped. I think she has a small scrape on the inside of her mouth, any suggestions on how to keep it clean to prevent infection?

Lots of clean water so she can keep it cleaned out. A small dose of antibiotic would help fight of any infection.

How is your goose doing?

How is your goose doing?

She's doing good now. She seemed a little shaken up for a day or so, but with plenty of fresh water and electrolytes she recovered quickly. I watched for signs of infection for the following days and didn't see any and helped keep the wound clean ( it didn't really help that after I had cleaned her bill she decided to go poke around in some mud puddles). Her she is in the pool now
