This Canada Goose came in after being exposed to an oil spill. We clean oil off our patients using a basic mixture of Dawn dishwashing liquid and water. It’s important to let any animal that has been exposed to oil rest and de-stress before giving them a bath, as overly stressed animals can actually die during the process. Likewise, instead of doing one long bath for as long as it takes to get the oil off, we do a short bath every day for an extended period of time. This lets us get the animal clean and healthy again without making them overly stressed, and while giving them plenty of time to rest quietly between procedures. This guy is almost done, and will soon be fully ready for release 🙂
