Injured Goose

This poor goose had swallowed clumps of fishing netting which obstructed the throat for so long that it was emaciated and weak from starvation. We managed to safely extract the netting without harming the goose, now the test will be if we can tease it back to health with gavage-tube feedings of calorie-rich emergency fluids, until it is strong enough to stand and eat on its own.
