I have never had this before so what do I do to help this little one with it legs. Do I take him out and work with the legs to help or what. Been breeding for almost 6 years and have never had this before??? Help needed quickly thank you.
 
rubber shelf liner first and foremost helps get their feet under them the best.

You can use vet wrap to hobble them leggs together (in a natural position) under the gosling so they can regain/gain strength in the legs and be up and running around
 
Thank you Shellie. I have the gosling in my lap on a wash cloth so it can dig in with the leg. I was wroking the leg with my thumb and index finger and I felt like a little pop. Just a nerve feeling like pop. With the others in there I thought some one on one with me today might help as well. The great dane LOVES goslings so much she wants to help. She keeps licking the baby.
But she is making him move and use the legs while I havee baby on my lap. Wether i like it or not. aby stuck the head under it as to say leave me alone.






 
Yes, I am feeling better today thank you Shellie, I was put on antibiotics 2 the first day and on each day for four days.
Yes, very good helper maybe a bit too much.I wish this ear ache would go away and now it is starting to pop in the other ear. I do believe I have a sinus infection and it is hitting both ears.

Shellie we have 12.4 inches of snow one day the next it snows about an inch more then on the 3rd day the sun comes out and has melted most of the snow. Today it is between 50 to 57 degrees. I am hoping that it warms up enough that I can get this first batch of goslings out to their new momma.

I tapped the goslings legs together and it was up walking with them taped so were are off to healing..... I am keeping an eye on a 2nd gosling just in case I have to tape it's legs together. These are the goslings where I hit the darn off button on the incubator. It is so touchy even my husband going in and checking them while I was at dialysis said my gosh is that button touchy. I said yes it is because the dog sniffed the incubator and turned it off too. So I am luck if this is all they came from the bator being off for a long time one day and just a few they next time.....

This 2nd back I am waiting on an answer from a person about them if I do not hear I am going onto the next person on the waiting list. I can not wait no week or two for an answer.
