    Help...Goslings dying: weak, bent neck, tremors, not eating

    I had a similar problem last week, with a gosling with a bent neck and unable to move. I also believe in organic but I didn't want the little guy to die so I got some antibiotics from the vet... They worked. He is fine now and back to living with his friends. I also added sugar to warm water...

    gosling dying

    Okay I just went home and he is looking better. I switched him to a fresh box and gave him fresh sugary warm water. It seems like the brooder pneumonia could be possible because I could never keep up with them! Every time I watered them (3x/day) I would put down new shavings but by the time I...

    gosling dying

    About 5 minutes after I gave him the antibiotics last night a little liquid was dribbling out of his beak. Does this mean he didn't get enough? Also could he be constipated? I haven't seen any poo. Or is that just the result of not eating and drinking very little?

    gosling dying

    He is still alive and it seems like his chirps are very powerful! Not moving around too much though.

    gosling dying

    Well he is still alive. Not moving very much except his head. They do have unmedicated feed. The vet I talked to is a farm animal vet... I don't know any avian specialists around the area. I would say he is doing about the same. Our latest guess he is has a pneumonia type of sickness...

    gosling dying

    I called the vet and he said to give the baby some of the antibiotics. I gave it just a tiny amount but I haven't seen any improvement. Possibly even worse. Although its probs not because of the meds. =(

    gosling dying

    Hmm based on what you guys are saying the two things I am worried about most is the shavings and the grit. Would they die if they didn't get enough grit? I went home and the baby had moved about four inches to the other side of the water. He also seemed the cheeping a bit more heartily...

    gosling dying

    They are actually living in our house in an upstairs bedroom with the door open so they are getting plenty of heat from the house. I turned off the heat lamp a few days ago because they never wanted to be anywhere around it and I haven't noticed them huddling or acting cold since then. They get...

    gosling dying

    I called the hatchery where I got them from and they were pretty unhelpful. =( Just said to keep checking on it and there wasn't much I could do.

    gosling dying

    they are on pine shavings and they do nibble at them when i put fresh ones down... do you think that could have caused this problem??

    Does anyone have Chickens and Ducks living together?

    I also raised my ducks with my chickens (and a turkey!) and I only had a slight problem when they were a few months old. The chickens started pecking a duck's wings, causing them to bleed. And we all know how chickens are with blood.... so they were separated for awhile but when I put them all...
