[Katy70]

Hi, I'm new but I need help with my 4-day-old baby goose...I helped him out...and he's never walked well, he's unbalanced...he turns upside down...he tries to sit up...he walks 2 steps or runs and he turns around again.. he eats very well, he drinks a lot of water and also great energy.. I need help

What feed are you giving him?

Waterfowl need more B vitamins than other birds, often feed formatted for chicks isn’t enough for gosling or ducklings and issues like this “vitamin deficiency symptoms” can appear. Sometimes even the right feed doesn’t always have the right concentration so supplementation is needed.

If you can find a liquid B complex and a liquid multivitamin start adding a few drops to his mouth a few times a day.

If you are in the U.S durvet liquid B complex and Poultry Nutri-drench are good sources, the durvet B vitamins will say injectible but it can be swallowed too.

Nuerological issues are typically a sign of too little vitamin E and B vitamins like niacin, thiamin, and pyridoxine, other vitamin or nutrient issues like not enough protein can cause issues too.

Try giving it some electrolytes and nutritional yeast. It could be he has a vitamin deficiency.

I do not know how to make your language where I can understand it. I'm sorry but computers are not that easy for me.

@Goosebaby

I’m using google translate https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&op=translate

It works by copy pasting whatever text needs to be translated, selecting what language it needs to be, and then copying it. It can be used in reverse too.
It’s not always accurate so sometimes I have to recheck it.

Deje de darle el calcio, ese puede ser el problema, demasiado calcio puede causar problemas.

solo dale vitaminas B y solo dale el complejo de vitaminas B por ahora y veremos si mejora.

Okok gracias

If you decide to make sling make it so the gosling feet touch the floor enough that it can push up enough to be exercising those leg muscles. You don't want it to be able to push up enough it comes out of the sling just enough that it can use the legs to exercise . Other than that and taking the gosling to an avian vet for an evaluation I am not sure what else you can do.
