Baby geese leg injury

[Astrx]

Baby geese got out of his pen at night when windy and a big block of wood fell on his leg I don’t know how long it could of been there but when I saw him he was panting and just laying there with his foot stuck.He can still move his leg but can’t stand and it seems that at the start of his leg is red/purple its less now but when I first saw it it was more noticeable .first picture is his normal leg that wasn’t injured pictures after that are his injured leg.He’s still panting a lot and I don’t want to hurt him so any advice will it heal?

Can you feel any breaks by gently running your fingers along the injured area? Possibly just rest and some nice warm Epsom salt compresses may help. If it doesn't get better in a couple days may want to consider having a vet look at it.

Im sorry that looks bad but. Time for a brooder and some therapy. Give him a quiet brooder area where he dose not have to use the leg. Food and water a neck reach close to right under his beak. Bathroom sinks work really good for leg soaking warm water. I went through a broken leg last year with a shipped gosling but never a crush. So a vet might be a option for a better opinion. But Bet Warmth to get the circulation going then cool compresses to get the swelling down. There bones can heal quickly since they are growing so fast. Hard Boiled egg yolk and Brewer's yeast. are a great Niacin boost.

he didn’t make it sadly maybe it was the best you could see him struggling and his breathing was increasing.

Must have had internal injuries. I’m so sorry you lost him

Im so sorry you did all you could. Lost one baby this year was so hard to watch and holding her pasted. She got stampeded from the rest going crazy from the noise of a wind storm and things hitting the barn. My heart goes out to you.
