Any help is appreciated as I’m at a loss.
Banana Bread was being treated for a bumble, after being in hospital (my mudroom) he was slowly reintroduced back into the flock. His first full day back out with everyone I’m filling water buckets, hear a commotion and see that two males are fighting (yay spring!) I move to go break it up, but at this point I can tell it’s Banana Bread and he’s getting totally beat up. I get the other goose off of him and this is where it goes sideways. He can’t walk. Like he can but only on his tippy toes and not more than a step or two. He’s also falling backwards. Into the coop he goes to hang out for the day and rest, but he’s never gotten better. He’s losing weight and some days he’s fine and can walk and other days he has to use his neck as a balance on the ground. He’s been inside my house totally isolated for over a month. His energy is good, he can move when he wants to like trying to bolt out the back door, but there isn’t the budget for a vet visit.
I feel like this is neurological like maybe he caught a wing knuckle to the head, because he can fully extend his legs which I would think rules out tendon issues, but maybe I’m wrong.
I really don’t believe it’s hardware disease as he went from fine to sideways right after this fight.
I’ve done charcoal flush, giving Super B daily and he’s getting some solo time to relax outside in the grass. I could give antibiotics but not knowing what for feels wrong.
