One of my goslings seems to have a leg or foot problem and has been standing with its left leg a lot (as in the video). I don't know when it started, but I hadn't noticed it until yesterday (May 30th PDT) afternoon.
We looked at its right foot from the toes to the hock but didn't find the cause. It might be internal or located in another part of the leg or not easy to see.
We've confined all the goslings for the hurt gosling to rest while having companions.
The hurt gosling still eats, drinks, and cleans itself.
There are few bird vets here (the Portland, OR metropolitan), and I haven't found one with in-home service.
What might be the cause? What can I do?
Update:
The gosling puts its center of gravity force on its left leg most of the time whether it's walking or not, but this morning (May 31st PDT) I saw it standing with its right leg only while it's cleaning its left foot. I'm suspecting it has a sprain but don't really know.
