I need help. I have a week old roman baby gosling who was always active and very talkative when I brought it home. Yesterday I brought home a new friend for it to have along with it. It's a buff gosling just a couple days apart from the roman. They both were in the same pen together which everything was going great. I got up this morning to find that my baby roman wasn't as active like it normally was. It didn't get up to great me or speak. It was alert when I would talk to it. It tried so hard to talk but nothing was coming out. I'm wondering if it has something stuck in it's throat. I did separate it from the buff gosling. Poor baby wants to be so active but can't. I don't know what else to do

I don't have a google act so can't see the video. But are you offering any form of niacin for your goslings?
What are you feeding them? any discharge from eyes or nares?
are they still under heat?
Here is info on niacin deficiency https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/niacin-deficiency-in-waterfowl.1367557/
Is your gosling acting like it's choking referring to your title on your thread?
Make sure to always have a bowl of water deep enough that they can drink and dunk their heads for cleaning.

The video didn't want to load sorry, but there is no discharge from this eyes or nares. It has a deep enough bowl with water to clean its nose. I'm giving it starter crumbles non medicated.
 
Would be strange for a baby to be so tired like that especially when it’s just the two of them. Wouldn’t hurt to doublecheck on your cool and heat areas.
Miss Lydia-could her gosling possibly have gapeworm? Read article about someone having trouble with theirs gasping. Vet said it was possibly gapeworm and to treat with fendbendazole. Seems too young for that you think?
Hemmywife- is the gosling making strange sounds like wheezing or anything?
 
I would get the liquid B complex and start this gosling on it asap. Starter crumbles if for chicks doesn't have near the niacin waterfowl babies need.
I really doubt it's gape worm.
