Shot Snow Goose

By Sarvey Wildlife / Monday, February 8, 2016 /

This Snow goose was found late 1/1/16, and brought to us the next morning. It had been shot in the wing. More photos of the intake can be seen here. The goose was a good candidate for surgery, and we shared the progress on our FaceBook page. It has been a long recovery, but she is doing much better now and has just been moved outside into a larger enclosure. We hope that when she is fully healed she will be able to fly. Time will tell and in the meantime she is enjoying corn being added to her food. Finding fresh corn is not easy this time of year, but getting patients to eat sometimes can be a challenge - so, we do spoil them a bit when we know something is working well. Status - euthanized. The shot was removed, but this goose was not able to recover from the injuries it sustained. We attempted to treat the wound, offered physical therapy, and other treatments - but, it was clear that she would never be able to fly again.
