My goose screams and drools when picked up. Is he scared of me?

Thanks for reaching out about Lucy Goosey and including photos. The first thought would be around hormones. Is she exhibiting seasonal aggression, during spring or has this been year long? Behavioral reasons, hormones or territoriality, can lead to aggression. Illnesses can also change behavior and this needs to be investigated by a veterinarian. Good luck.

Do not give anymore Panado. Acetominophen can be toxic to birds. It is never recommended to medicate a pet without the advice of a veterinarian. Geese eat mainly fresh grasses, shoots and clover. you can soak some wheat in water to soften it and offer that to Hansie. Unflavored PediaLyte can be offered via syringe to maintain hydration. Ideally, he should be physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating domestic fowl to diagnose and treat infection or injury. Keep him separated from the flock. Keep him warm and as stress free as possible until he sees the doctor.

Thanks for reaching out about Peanut. By the description, there could be something occluding the throat or esophagus. Can it drink water? Try gently opening the mouth and peering, examine the tongue if possible. With these complications, a veterinary visit is recommended.

This may indicate an infection )bacterial, fungal, parasites, etc.) or a foreign body in her throat. Consider an exam with your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating domestic fowl. If indicated, antibiotics may be administered or dispensed to treat infection.

I would be concerned there is an injury to the leg, such as a sprain, break, or wound, or even a neurologic/muscular issues that could be affecting her legs. If it's been going on for several months without improvement, it would be best to have a vet take a look in person to rule out any treatable issues. If no problems can be found or treated, and she is able to get around and is still eating and drinking, making sure she has easy access to food and water, and isn't being picked on by the rest of the flock may help make things easier.

This sounds like a nutritional issue. What are you feeding him? Geese need to eat waterfowl food and not chicken feed. If you are feeding chicken feed then he is probably deficient in niacin. If you would like to post again with more information you can and we may be able to help more. If you would like some more one on one help you can always opt for a private consultation with me.

Thanks for reaching out. A veterinary visit is needed to control infection but also for the possibility of a prosthetic. You might have to syringe feed and offer water to provide energy and hydration. Good luck.
