Sick goose not eating, has white watery poop. What should I do?

Question

Our 3-year-old hand raised gander is very ill. Refusing to eat. Loves bread. Only manages small bites. White watery excretions. Gave 1/4 Panado. Tried honey and he is now eating tiny bites of bread with honey. We live on a farm. The pond has borehole water. Have 40 geese. No other goose showing these signs. Pet's info: Bird | Domestic Fowl | Male | 3 years and 7 months old

Do not give anymore Panado. Acetominophen can be toxic to birds. It is never recommended to medicate a pet without the advice of a veterinarian. Geese eat mainly fresh grasses, shoots and clover. you can soak some wheat in water to soften it and offer that to Hansie. Unflavored PediaLyte can be offered via syringe to maintain hydration. Ideally, he should be physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating domestic fowl to diagnose and treat infection or injury. Keep him separated from the flock. Keep him warm and as stress free as possible until he sees the doctor.
