Case Study:

"Clover" is an eight-year-old domestic goose who lives on a farm with a loving family of people and geese. She came to AEC after a mysterious traumatic event that caused remarkable swelling under her chin, puncture wounds on her face, and a bleeding ruptured eardrum. We cleaned up her wounds, prescribed antibiotics and pain medication, and recommended special home nursing care. Her family provided a clean, warm, dry, well bedded pen inside the barn, medicated her wounds, and ensured she ate and drank well during the healing period. After about two and one-half weeks the wounds were well healed, so we discontinued her medications and her flock welcomed her back with open wings.
