On May 14th this goose showed up in our yard.
It had fishing line wrapped around its leg multiple times and was embedded into the tissue.
I held it while my husband cut it all out.
The leg was swollen, infected and I’m sure pretty painful.
I gave it food and water and observed it.
It wasn’t doing well and it had no energy.
As it got later I realized that I couldn’t leave it outside, unprotected in its condition so I created an area for it on my screened porch.
The next day I went and got straw and some better food for it.
I also have a wonderful wildlife vet that I work with who called in some antibiotics for me. Every day it gets a little better and has more energy.
Hopefully soon it'll be back in nature, living it's best life.
I think for now though it’s enjoying having a safe and quiet space to rest and heal.
