Shaky (Shake and Bake) is an incubator hand raised gosling that was attacked by an unknown assailant in her very large enclosure. She had a very large wound on her side chest and upper leg area, limping badly, not eating, barely drinking, on a holiday weekend with nearest vet (non bird) over 50 miles away.
JustAnswer to the rescue. Dr. B. Said among many other reassuring things that Shaky could have penicillin. Bingo, we had 500 mg amoxicillin caps that I opened, split the dose powder, crushed a baby aspirin, carefully put both into a 5 ml. Syringe and drew up 2 ml. Sterile water. Would Shaky take the medicine? My husband held her on his lap, while I flushed the wounds with betadine. We gave her some fresh parsley to smell and when she opened her mouth, I placed the syringe (minus the needle) in her mouth and slowly pressed the plunger, while my husband stroked her neck. We now do this every 12 hours. Shaky is back to free-ranging during the daytime with her four "siblings", but all are now walked into an enclosed barn stall at night.
She would have never made it without Dr. B's advice!
