Apologies for the late update. I thought I’d already posted this but aparrently not.
Update on Garry the Goose
Not good news I’m afraid.
Garry had a good dose of antibiotics and pain relief. Unfortunately the infection was too bad and there was no sign of improvement. His wing was broken in several places and was considered to be unfixable.
He was not going to recover so sadly the decision was taken to put him to sleep.
It would be very easy to only see the negative side of this. We didn’t manage to safe Garry. But his suffering was kept to a minimum. A wild, infected, single winged bird was never going to have a long life.
We got to meet a really caring group in the Graylag project, and may be able to help them in the future. Thanks to Moyles Court Wildlife Rescue for their efforts.
